K-selection
---------------------------------------------------------------
K-Selection Traits: K-selected species are characterized by features like:
Larger body size
Longer lifespans
Fewer offspring
Investment in parental care for those offspring
Human Traits: Compared to r-selected species, humans exhibit most of these K-selection traits:
We have relatively large bodies compared to many other mammals.
Our lifespans are significantly longer than most animals.
We typically have fewer offspring than r-selected species like rodents.
Humans invest a significant amount of time and resources into raising our young.
While there may be some variation in reproductive strategies within human populations, overall, our biological characteristics align more closely with K-selection theory.
