Chapter 13: The Five Forces Behind Human Evolution
Biologists index natural selection by reproductive fitness, often abbreviated as just fitness. Reproductive fitness can be measured in one of two ways. Absolute reproductive fitness may be defined as the raw number of gene copies or raw number of offspring transmitted to the subsequent generation. It may be expressed in terms of individuals (e.g.,
