The biology of the colonizing ape.

American journal of physical anthropology - 1 Jan 2007

Wells Jonathan C K, Stock Jay T

Abstract excerpt

Hominin evolutionary history is characterized by regular dispersals, cycles of colonization, and entry into novel environments. This article considers the relationship between such colonizing capacity and hominin biology. In general, colonizing strategy favors rapid rates of reproduction and generalized rather than specialized biology. Physiological viability across diverse environments favors a high degree of...
