Abstract
The concept of child development is constantly evolving; the evidence base is taken from the sometimes disparate disciplines of philosophy, biology, psychology and sociology. The theoretical debates consider the processes of human uniqueness, human similarity, change, universality, context, ecology culture and anthropology. This article explores some of these concepts and how they have developed in relation to the historical understanding of the child.
