Resource availability, mortality, and fertility: a path analytic approach to global life-history variation.

Human biology - 1 Apr 2012

Caudell Mark A, Quinlan Robert J

Abstract excerpt

Humans exhibit considerable diversity in timing and rate of reproduction. Life-history theory (LHT) suggests that ecological cues of resource richness and survival probabilities shape human phenotypes across populations. Populations experiencing high extrinsic mortality due to uncertainty in resources should exhibit faster life histories. Here we use a path analytic (PA) approach informed by LHT to model the...
