This is not only your decision, but you have to also think of the living thing inside of you, waiting for a chance to have a life of its own.

testosterone levels. In studies where women were given the option between different mates, they choose the males that exuberated less testosterone when looking for a long-term relationship. The women that were looking for short-term relationships, where reproduction was not a possibility and/or factor for mate selection, those women chose men with higher testosterone levels (Coren L. Apicella, 2008). Works Cited Coren L. Apicella, A. D. (2008, November). Testosterone and financial risk preferences. Retrieved

time they are in their mid fifties (Lahdenpera et al., 2004). In fact, natural conception after the age of 50 is extremely rare. Menopause has become quite the evolutionary puzzle for modern scientists because natural selection favors increased reproduction, therefore increasing one’s own fitness. The essence of natural selection is that it promotes genes for traits that increase an animal’s number of descendents bearing those genes. Thus, the great question is: How could natural selection result

Who Gets to Stay on the Lifeboat? Consider the example of a lifeboat with a capacity of 50 persons. The ship is sinking and there are not enough lifeboats.

consequence of sexual selection. The development of secondary sex characteristics, such as colored feathers in male birds or large antlers in male deer, which are attractive to the opposite sex as signs of fitness but are not directly involved in reproduction is also attributed to sexual selection. These features are often

two distinct species, common in animals, birds, and reptiles. This type of behavior could cause species of birds, mammals, and reptiles to mold into one species. Discussion: This could lead to more research about how different traits affect reproduction and how species could increase their survival rates. This research could lead to a more in-depth understanding of how to protect species and allow them to reproduce safely. In class, our study for this unit was about Evolution and how natural selection
