There is evidence that menopause is adaptive in humans2,3. Although the pathways and mechanisms by which menopause evolves remain debated, the most well-studied and well-supported theories focus on kin selection3and the balance of evidence suggests that menopause in humans evolved because of a com...
From an evolutionary perspective, the filariae represent an interesting contrast to the model nematodeC. elegans, which has, like many other nematodes, XX/XO sex determinism, while filarial species can have Y chromosomes8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15. It is generally held that evolution of heteromorph...

These cases introduce the reader to various problems and illustrate how they have been addressed historically. The various topics selected represent important corrections in the ...
对应原文:第8段:These notions merely label rather than explain the evolution of human innovations. 答案解析:根据柏拉图与达芬奇的人名定位到第8段。后面一句说道,这些理念仅仅是标注了人类创新的进化,而无法对其进行解释。题干中will help us undertand的说法与原文中rather than explain相反,由此判断答案为NO。

Sexual dimorphism of body size has been the subject of numerous studies, but few have examined sexual shape dimorphism (SShD) and its evolution. Allometry, the shape change associated with size variation, has been suggested to be a main component of SShD
helped me regain much of the human potential I had lost through years of unhealthy habits. While this chapter cannot possibly tell the entirety of the human story or pass on all of the wisdom to be gathered from an understanding of human evolution, I hope that it can serve as an invitatio...
Teleost fish exhibit a remarkable diversity in the control of sex determination, offering the opportunity to identify novel differentiation mechanisms and their ecological consequences. Here, we perform GWAS using 4715 fish and 46,501 SNP to map sex dete
The process began with the human body, which we learned to deodorize by bathing in water and then reodorize by perfuming with aromatic compounds. Reodorization would eventually spread to the entire home, with the result that we now spend much, if not most, of our time in an olfactory ...
