Sažetak
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.
