Evolutionary Explanations in Demography

In this presentation the author argues that the principles of evolutionary biology provide novel insights in human demography, especially in the context of mortality and fertility. These concepts underwent a theoretical and methodological change, especially through evaluation of their outcomes in the terms of evolutionary fitness, leading to more individualistic approach. The newly established evolutionary paradigm has a strong effect on population policy which has been until recently in the realm of economics exclusively.
