Effects of the demographic transition on the genetic variances and covariances of human life-history traits.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Mar 2015

Bolund Elisabeth, Hayward Adam, Pettay Jenni E, Lummaa Virpi

Abstract excerpt

The recent demographic transitions to lower mortality and fertility rates in most human societies have led to changes and even quick reversals in phenotypic selection pressures. This can only result in evolutionary change if the affected traits are heritable, but changes in environmental conditio...
