Until recently Professor Fausto-Sterling's laboratory work has 
focused on the evolution of regeneration and sexual reproduction in a 
group of flatworms known as Planaria. Her new work applies dynamic 
systems theory to the study of human development. Dynamic systems 
theory permits us to understand how cultural difference becomes 
bodily difference. Her current case studies in this area examine sex 
differences in bone development and the emergence of gender 
differences in behavior in early childhood.
