How can the functional adaptation of infants and children be evaluated and described independent of diagnosis?

Permutatude is a stage of humankind's global functional adaptation.

Furthermore, snout and skull morphologies seem to be functional adaptations to the selection pressures that crocodilians face from the diet in their environments.

All these are evidence not of selection, as commonly assumed, but of direct functional adaptation and correlation to the immediate environment.

And, it is logical that a conservative, highly functional adaptation be followed by a series of more complex ones that complement it.

Yes, we're making functional adaptations for specific environments.

Some species had necks twice as long as their trunks, which were thought to be a consequence of peculiar growth patterns rather than specific functional adaptation.

The ability to complete its growth cycle in a short growing season is a functional adaptation that enables a plant to survive in northerly latitudes.

Another example of functional adaptation is provided by the clothes moth, which has a special enzyme that enables it to digest wool.

Morning sickness is very common among pregnant women, which argues in favor of its being a functional adaptation and against the idea that it is a pathology.
