Can IVF influence human evolution?

Human reproduction (Oxford, England) - 1 Jul 2016

Hanevik Hans Ivar, Hessen Dag O, Sunde Arne, Breivik Jarle

Abstract excerpt

IVF, a procedure in which pharmacological and technological manipulation is used to promote pregnancy, offers help to infertile couples by circumventing selection at the most fundamental level. Fertility is clearly one of the key fitness-promoting drivers in all forms of sexually reproducing life, and fertilization and pregnancy are fundamental evolutionary processes that involve a range of pre- and post-zygotic...
