The evolution of human longevity

Article Abstract:

The evolution of an increase in human longevity can be assessed on the basis of several parameters such as low annual mortality, fathers' age, acquisition of language, brain size, natural selection and better adaptation to the environment. The age at which humans are reproductively mature is low, and the reproduction rate is high. Reproductive maturity increases the females' life expectation. The relation between the survival of females and the number of offsprings produced at different ages contributes to the expansion of population.

Evolution and the biologist's daughter

Article Abstract:

The concepts in human evolution against creationism are discussed in the context ofthe experiences of a biologist-parent in the birth and development of his child. Evolution is regarded as fundamental theory by scientists that does not sit well with the masses. However, the theories of evolution can not summarily explain the mystique and experiences a parent feels in the development and birth of a child as opposed to the postulates of creationism.
