“human_ontogenetics is an inter­na­tional inter­dis­ci­pli­nary open access jour­nal edited under the aus­pices of the Soci­ety of Human Onto­ge­net­ics and pub­lished by Wiley-Blackwell.

The sci­ence of human onto­ge­net­ics deals with the devel­op­ment of the human indi­vid­ual as a biopsy­choso­cial unit from con­cep­tion until death. It aims – as crit­i­cal the­ory, con­cep­tual frame­work and research pro­gram – at a holis­tic com­pre­hen­sion of man in his struc­tural and tem­po­ral dimensions.

human_ontogenetics is a forum for orig­i­nal dis­ci­pli­nary research, inter­dis­ci­pli­nary stud­ies, con­cep­tual work and metadis­ci­pli­nary syn­the­ses focus­ing on the ontogeny of human beings and its evo­lu­tion. The jour­nal cov­ers devel­op­men­tal and evo­lu­tion­ary aspects of all human sci­ences – the scope ranges from empir­i­cal bio­med­ical stud­ies to philo­soph­i­cal con­cepts. Spe­cial focus will be given to stud­ies on the devel­op­men­tal ori­gins of health and disease.”
