Lecture on Early Development

A lecture on early development explores how humans grow from conception to the early childhood years. It covers the formation of the embryo and fetus, highlighting key stages like cell division, differentiation, and organ formation. The lecture also discusses genetic influences, the importance of the prenatal environment, and the beginning of physical, cognitive, and emotional skills. Understanding these early stages helps us appreciate how individuals develop and can inform practices to support healthy growth and address developmental challenges.
