Suggestions: 1. Add some classic examples of paedomorphism; where is it seen. 2. Update the definition of paedomorphism. Include the two aspects of paedomorphism. 3. Add how paedomorphism can be said in evolutionary terms. All these could result in a better understanding of neoteny. Better understanding of paedomorphism will help the reader understand neoteny.
