Just read about the AAT and how it’s surrounded with all this criticism. Why haven’t there been critiques of other theories like this one? Is it that hard to believe?
In: Biology
I think it attracted more criticism because it became briefly quite popular and well known, despite lacking clear evidence. Other theories have either attracted less attention over all or have been a better fit with the available evidence.
If you’re interested in the subject can I recommend a book called ‘The Eternal Child’ by Clive Bromhall? It’s a zoologist’s take on how neoteny has shaped humans, both physically and mentally. Fascinating.
