Contrasting evolutionary outcomes in a human life history trait which is heritable and under consistent unbiased directional selection
2025-10-14
Abstract excerpt
Microevolution is well documented in natural populations, yet its persistence as an adaptive process remains debated. Despite widespread directional selection on heritable traits, including life-history traits, evolutionary stasis often prevails, with no detectable microevolutionary response. However, evidence of microevolution in some populations raises a key question: do populations under similar ecological cond...
