Title
Energetics and evolution: An emerging research domain
Source
American Journal of Human Biology. 14(5):547-550, 2002 Sep-Oct.
Abstract
The study of energetics is important to human biology because the
availability and utilization of food energy influence health,survival, and
reproduction. Over the last decade, human biologists, biological
anthropologists, and other evolutionary scientists have increasingly
come to recognize the importance of energy dynamics in shaping evolutionary
processes. Thus far, different lines of energetics research have been
conducted largely in isolation from one another. This thematic collection
examines topics of evolutionary energetics from several different
perspectives, drawing together research from human paleontology, comparative
primate and mammalian biology, human population biology, and mathematical
modeling. It represents a starting point for further integrative research on
human evolutionary energetics. [References: 13]
