Word of the Week #1

1. Ontogeny

2. Hauser, Marc D. (1997). The Evolution of Communication. Massachusetts: The MIT Press.

3. Sentence where word was found: A close look at what we know about human language suggests that our understanding of mechanism and ontogeny is sophisticated, whereas our understanding of function and phylogeny is relatively poor.

4. Definition: The development of an individual organism or anatomical or behavioral feature from the earliest stage to maturity; Part of speech: noun.

5. My Sentence: The ontogeny of a species heavily depends on its genes, the environment in which it is raised and any other random factors that may contribute to the overall make-up of an organism.
