The evolution of human phenotypic plasticity: age and nutritional status at maturity.

Human biology - 1 Aug 2003

Gage Timothy B

Abstract excerpt

Several evolutionary optimal models of human plasticity in age and nutritional status at reproductive maturation are proposed and their dynamics examined. These models differ from previously published models because fertility is not assumed to be a function of body size or nutritional status. Further, the models are based on explicitly human demographic patterns, that is, model human life-tables, model human...
