Chapter 3 introduced the concept of positive selection, which refers to the increase in frequency of specific traits that confer a fitness advantage. Table 3.1 also gave examples of several human genes which have been shown to be under recent positive selection (ie, within the last 10,000 years). It [...]]]></description>

The age of puberty is a central feature of a species’ life history. The mechanism that controls the onset of sexual maturity evolved to allow for successful reproduction. Reproduction is energetically costly for the female and a degree of physical and psychosocial maturity is necessary for successful pregnancy and [...]]]></description>
