Super proud of @euantheyoung.bsky.social PhD work being featured in the NRC
Hoe meer kinderen een moeder krijgt, hoe minder lang ze zelf leeft. Tenminste, dat gold voor Finse moeders ten tijde van de Grote Finse Hongersnood. Deze en andere opmerkelijke feiten destilleerde Euan Young uit grote historische bevolkingsregisters.

Historical records across thousands of women showed that mothers with more children had shorter lifespans during a famine, fitting an evolutionary explanation for why we age

As well as @markspa.bsky.social's great thread, read a summary of @markspa.bsky.social and @euantheyoung.bsky.social paper doi.org/10.1098/rspb... on older sibling associations with younger sibling here: doi.org/10.1038/d415...
Will a child survive? Older siblings have a powerful influence
Swiss birth data from 1750 to 1870 reveal that girls who had lots of older brothers close to their own age were less likely to survive than were those who did not.
