evolutionary demography

Evolutionary demography is the study of how human populations change over time by examining the interactions between biological evolution and demographic processes like birth, death, and aging. It explores how natural selection and genetic factors influence traits such as lifespan, fertility, and health, shaping population patterns across generations. This field helps us understand why certain traits evolve and persist, revealing the biological roots of demographic changes and providing insights into human development, aging, and population dynamics from an evolutionary perspective.
