Perfect genetic correlation between number of offspring and grandoffspring in an industrialized human population.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 21 Jan 2014

Abstract excerpt

Reproductive success is widely used as a measure of fitness. However, offspring quantity may not reflect the genetic contribution to subsequent generations if there is nonrandom variation in offspring quality. Offspring quality is likely to be an important component of human fitness, and tradeoffs between offspring quantity and quality have been reported. As such, studies using offspring quantity as a proxy for...
