Mothers of small-bodied children and fathers of vigorous sons live longer
Life-history traits (traits directly related to survival and reproduction) co-evolve and materialize through physiology and behavior. Accordingly, lifespan can be hypothesized as a potentially informative marker of life-history speed that subsumes the impact of diverse morphometric and behavioral traits. We examined associations between parental longevity and various anthropometric traits in a sample of 4,000–11,000 Estonian children in the middl…
Pubertal maturation is independent of family structure but daughters of divorced (but not dead) fathers start reproduction earlier
Natural selection on anthropometric traits of Estonian girls
Morphometric traits predict educational attainment independently of socioeconomic background
Our main finding - that adjusting for other morphometric traits and biosocial variables, morphometric traits still robustly predicted educational attainment, is relevant for understanding the current patterns of evolution of human body size. Our findings suggest that fecundity selection acting on educational attainment could be partly responsible for the concurrent selection for smaller stature and cranial volume in women and opposite trends in m…
