Evolutionary Changes in the Human Skull and Nutrient Storage

The evolution of the human skull led to a more juvenileized version of earlier skulls, likely due to the need to store nutrients during times of food scarcity. While there are about a billion proteins in a cell, making of new proteins is an interval-based process.
