Description: Life's Vital Link : The Astonishing Role of the Placenta, Paperback by Loke, Y. W., ISBN 0199694524, ISBN-13 9780199694525, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The development of the placenta was a pivotal event in evolution. Without it, we would still be laying eggs instead of giving birth to live offspring. It represents the critical link between the foetus and the mother, but its character is extraordinary -- it is, in effect, a foreign tissue
that invades the mothers body.
Compared to many other animals, the human placenta represents a particularly aggressive body. But how is it managed and controlled? How did such an organ evolve in the first place? And why is it tolerated by the mother? . Loke explores the nature of the placenta and what it can tell us about
evolution, development, and genetics.
