Continuity between pre- and post-demographic transition populations with respect to grandparental investment
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 April 2010
Abstract
This commentary suggests that there is more continuity in pre- and post-demographic transition populations with respect to grandparental investments than is assumed by Coall & Hertwig (C&H). Recent research employing high-quality data supports the claim that sex-biased grandparental investments are likely to exist in industrialized societies, and that the economic status of grandparents is related to their long-term fitness.
