Evolution Natural Selection

I chose to read and evaluate an article called 'Human Evolution: New Playgrounds for Natural Selection'. This article was published on May 20th 2013, by Emmanuel Milot and Fanie Pelletier. This article was published in the 'current biology' journal volume 23, issue 10. I chose this article because it deals with natural selection, which was talked a lot about in Chapter one in our learning and behavior book. Over time a lot of change took place, and a lot of it was due to natural selection and how our bodies and traits changed over time to deal with the new challenges faced everyday. According to the New World Encyclopedia "Natural selection is the process by which biological organisms with favorable traits survive and reproduce more successfully

Just like this research took just around 50 years. Its definitely an ongoing process and I give great credit to the authors and conductors of this article for sticking through the long period of time and trying to better understand our lower rates of infertility and birth rates in a matter or natural selection and
I think it would be interesting to conduct a research question looking deeper into evolution and natural selection in terms of mate choice. And what features become apparently appealing and what features not so appealing and how that correlates to birth rates and family sizes. I think this would be an ongoing long term experiment as well, but I would most likely go about this ressearch question in terms of interviews and surveys. I would ask questions concerning family size, sex appeal, and feelings about having children. I truly learned a lot from this article, and it defintely gave me a new perspective on some things. I appreciate that this article took something new and not really touched on in the recent time and really conducted a hard design and experiment to get some
