  • Genetic Influences on Human Fertility and Sexuality

    Theoretical and Empirical Contributions from the Biological and Behavioral Sciences

    Recent work in quantitative biology has shown theoretically why Fisher's Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection does not preclude genetic influences on fertility, sexuality, and related processes. Genetic Influences on Human Fertility and Sexuality takes the next step, and presents a number of successful empirical searches for such genetic influence on a broad range of processes, such as puberty ...
