The core premises of Darwinian evolution are survival and reproduction (Darwin 1859); and biological organisms need energy to achieve these goals. All life requires capturing and allocating energy; however, this energy is limited and comes at a cost – organisms cannot expend unlimited resources, maximizing all life domains simultaneously.

Life‐history theory and risky drinking
Addiction, 2002ABSTRACTAimsLife‐history theory, a major theory related to evolutionary biology and behavioral ecology, is applied to analyze patterns in alcohol abuse and dependence. The life‐history approach examines how intensity of reproductive competition affects the benefits and costs of risk‐taking, which are typically greater for young men than for women or ...

Biological Reviews, 2000ABSTRACTTheory concerning the evolution of life history (the schedule of reproduction and survival) focuses on describing the life history which maximises fitness. Although there is an intuitive link between life history and fitness, there are in fact several measures of the ‘black box’ concept of fitness.

Contributions of genomics to life-history theory
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2007Life-history theory seeks to understand the factors that produce variation in life histories that are found both among and within species. At the organismal level there is a well developed mathematical framework, and an important focus of the current research is determining the biological underpinnings of this framework, with particular attention to ...

Juvenility in the context of life history theory
Yearbook of Paediatric Endocrinology, 2008Homo sapiens is unique in having four prolonged and pronounced postnatal pre-adult life history stages: infancy, which lasts for 30-36 months and ends with weaning from breast feeding in traditional societies; childhood, which lasts for an additional 2-4 years and concludes in a degree of independence as regards protection and food provision; a ...
