Having more children increases the chance that beneficial characteristics which aid survival will be passed to future generations.ĭr Stearns looked at the Framingham Heart Study - which has tracked the medical histories of 14,000 people in Framingham, Massachusetts since 1948. Without the fierce struggle for survival, they say, natural selection is no longer driving our species' development.īut evolutionary biologist Dr Stephen Stearns of Yale University says he has found evidence that inheritable traits such as weight and height still influence how many children a woman has and how healthy they will be. Some biologists have argued that medical advances and social welfare in the wealthiest parts of the world have caused evolution to ground to a halt. The predictions come from a study which claims to have the strongest evidence yet that humans are continuing to evolve.
