Neoteny is the retention, by adults in a species, of traits previously seen only in juveniles, and is a field studied - you at the back, stop talking - is a field studied in developmental biology. In neoteny, the development of an animal, organism or squiggly thing is - I said stop talking - is slowed or delayed. Ultimately this process results in the retention of juvenile characteristics well into - switch that off and face the front - well into maturity.

abstract
  • Neoteny is the retention, by adults in a species, of traits previously seen only in juveniles, and is a field studied - you at the back, stop talking - is a field studied in developmental biology. In neoteny, the development of an animal, organism or squiggly thing is - I said stop talking - is slowed or delayed. Ultimately this process results in the retention of juvenile characteristics well into - switch that off and face the front - well into maturity. In vertebrate biology, neoteny is most easily identified when sexually mature - stop giggling - sexually mature - I won't tell you again - sexually mature juveniles or larva are found. Specific individual traits that appear childlike, such as increased capacity to learn, sparse body hair and collecting action figures may be - I hope you've brought enough for everybody - may be considered neotenous.
