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.

This collection is the first to specifically address our current understanding of the evolution of human childhood, which in turn significantly affects our interpretations of the evolution of family formation, social organization, cultural transmission, cognition, ontogeny, and the physical and socioemotional needs of children. 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.
