Life Span : evolutionary, ecological, and demographic perspectives

---

The human life span continues to increase even in already low-mortality populations-with major implications for societies and economies Classical evolutionary theory accounts for survival only through the age of reproduction. A more elaborate theory, integrating biological and demographic perspectives, is required to explain these current trends in longevity and to gauge their future course. The papers collected in this volume contribute to the development of such a theory. The authors are leading scientists from demography, evolutionary biology, and field ecology, equipped to draw insights not only from human populations but also from the comparative mortality patterns and environmental circumstances of many other species mammals, birds, fish, and insects.
