evolutionary anthropology to our understanding of human fertility behavior and
family formation, under the rubric of &#x0201c;biodemography.&#x0201d; The biology
of fecundity, infecundity, and contraception has long been integral to human
population studies. But demographers are only beginning to assimilate findings and
approaches from behavioral genetics, molecular genetics, neuro-endocrinology, and
cross-species life history analysis and to place them in the context of evolutionary
theory. With support from the National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development, the National Research Council's Committee on Population has
brought together an interdisciplinary group to review this young field of science
and reflect on promising opportunities for future research.</p></div><div><h2>Contents</h2><div class="bktoc_all_cntnr top align_right" style="display:none"><ul class="inline_list_right"><li><a class="bktoc_all_exp" href="#">Expand All</a></li><li style="margin-left:.8em"><a class="bktoc_all_clps" href="#">Collapse All</a></li></ul></div><ul id="toc_tllNBK97286_fm_s1" class="simple-list toc toc-toggle"><li class="half_rhythm" id="toc_itm_NBK97286_fm_s1"><a href="/books/n/nap10654/fm.s1/" class="toc-item">THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES</a></li><li class="half_rhythm" id="toc_itm_NBK97286_fm_s2"><a href="/books/n/nap10654/fm.s2/" class="toc-item">PANEL FOR THE WORKSHOP ON THE BIODEMOGRAPHY OF FERTILITY AND FAMILY BEHAVIOR</a></li><li class="half_rhythm" id="toc_itm_NBK97286_fm_s3"><a href="/books/n/nap10654/fm.s3/" class="toc-item">COMMITTEE ON POPULATION (June 2000)</a></li><li class="half_rhythm" id="toc_itm_NBK97286_fm_s4"><a href="/books/n/nap10654/fm.s4/" class="toc-item">Preface</a></li><li class="half_rhythm" id="toc_itm_NBK97286_ch1"><a href="/books/n/nap10654/ch1/" class="toc-item">1.
