PDF-(READ)-The Evolution of Human Life History (School for Advanced Research Advanced Seminar

Human beings may share 98 percent of their genetic makeup with their nonhuman primate cousins but they have distinctive life histories When and why did these uniquely human patterns evolve To answer that question this volume brings together specialists in huntergatherer behavioral ecology and demography human growth development and nutrition paleodemography human paleontology primatology and the genomics of aging The contributors identify and explain the peculiar features of human life histories such as the rate and timing of processes that directly influence survival and reproduction Drawing on new evidence from paleoanthropology they question existing arguments that link humans extended childhood dependency and long postreproductive lives to brain development learning and distinctively human social structures The volume reviews alternative explanations for the distinctiveness of human life history and incorporates multiple lines of evidence in order to test them.

Moreover, the importance of studying the evolution of childhood has begun to extend beyond academic modeling and into real-world applications for maternal and child health and well-being in contemporary populations around the world. Combined, the chapters show that what we call childhood is culturally variable yet biologically based and has been critical to the evolutionary success of our species the significance of integrating childhood into models of human life history and evolution cannot be overstated. This volume further demonstrates the benefits of interdisciplinary investigation and is sure to spur further interest in the field.

Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world\'s leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas. Providing a timely overview of the main issues and scholarship in migration studies, Ronald Skeldon examines the principal methods of migration and offers in-depth guidance on trends and types of population movements in today\'s world. Key areas such as forced movements and refugees are considered, alongside more voluntary migration and the relationship between migration and development. The main approaches to migration policy are also reviewed. Key features include: a broad interdisciplinary approach to migration studiesconsideration of both internal and international migrationa fresh look at future migration challengesa substantial review of the literature. This insightful Advanced Introduction will be an excellent resource for both graduates and undergraduates studying migration. It will also be a useful guide for researchers in government departments, international agencies and think tanks who are actively engaged in work on migration. Fairhope Middle School. 7. th. Grade: .
