What if newborn abandonment- widely seen in captive primates, was not pathology but adaptation (see thread)? A fresh preprint led by Jayde Farinha (from UCL Anthropology) #LifeHistory #Primates #UCLAnthropology #EvolutionaryMedicine www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Strategic rejection of newborns is associated with substantially extended lifespan in parents and increased lifespan in well-reared offspring in owl monkeys
Parental rejection of apparently healthy newborns occurs across captive primate colonies, yet its adaptive significance remains unclear. In owl monkeys ( Aotus nancymaae ), spontaneous parental reject...

Rejecting parents also leave more descendants, an advantage explained by extended lifespan.
Our results suggest neonatal rejection can represent an adaptive reduction in parental investment under stress, rather than pathology alone. #EvolutionaryMedicine #StressDisease #EvolAnthropology #primates

An undergrad in my #EvolutionaryMedicine class contacted me after this weeks' disease phylodynamics class, asking about what careers exist at the intersection of phylogenetics and epidemiology & what entry level jobs exist for undergrads. I told her the little I know... any suggestions?

Promotional graphic for Paul Turner’s Scopes Symposium lecture titled Evolutionary Medicine. On the left, Turner is shown speaking at a podium, wearing a striped shirt and gesturing with his hand. On the right, the text reads “Paul Turner – Evolutionary Medicine.” Logos for Vanderbilt Evolutionary Studies and the National Center for Science Education appear at the bottom, along with a small photo of a scientist holding a vial.

Myopia is a classic example of a disorder caused by mismatch with modern environments. The genes that make it more likely are not defects, they are genetic quirks that cause harm only in modern environments.
