Book Description:
|
Hauser was a physically stunted adult with the mind of a child, who was abandoned at the city gate of Nuremburg in 1828. The notoriety of his case gave the impetus to many arguments regarding the significance of nature versus nurture. This work shows that deprivation drastically impairs the normal functioning of growth hormones.
