Human Development
John Waskom postulated that stages of human development followed the Fibonacci sequence, indicating that the unfolding psychology of human life would ideally be a "living proof" of the Golden Mean. This theory was developed and published by Norman Rose in two articles. The first article laid out the general theory: Design and Development of Wholeness: Waskom's Paradigm. The second article laid out the applications and implications of the theory to the topic of moral development: Moral Development: The Experiential Perspective.

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or development:
“Grammar is a tricky, inconsistent thing. Being the backbone of speech and writing, it should, we think, be eminently logical, make perfect sense, like the human skeleton. But, of course, the skeleton is arbitrary, too. Why twelve pairs of ribs rather than eleven or thirteen? Why thirty-two teeth? It has something to do with evolution and functionalism—but only sometimes, not always. So there are aspects of grammar that make good, logical sense, and others that do not.”
—John Simon (b. 1925)
“Sleep hath its own world,
And a wide realm of wild reality.
And dreams in their development have breath,
And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
