What Is Dysgenesis?

Underdevelopment syndrome refers to a series of symptoms associated with significant physical retardation in children. The reason is mainly emotional rather than physical. These children are often overlooked and severely lack the maternal love and physical contact needed for normal growth. Attention to this phenomenon began with a study by Spitz. In this study, he compared babies in normal childcare schools with babies who had grown up almost completely out of human contact and found that the latter showed severe stunting. ^[1]
