SUMMARY:Living fast and dying young: Variation in life history across Engl
 ish neighbourhoods - Dr. Daniel Nettle (Newcastle University)

CONTACT:Carissa Sharp
DESCRIPTION:There is marked variation in reproductive behaviour across dif
 ferent social strata of the contemporary English population. Most contempo
 rary discussion of the early childbearing found in deprived areas treats i
 t as either error or pathology. I propose an adaptive perspective instead.
  More specifically\, I argue that living fast is a coherent life-history s
 trategy which makes sense in certain environments and given certain kinds 
 of early-life inputs. I present a series of empirical studies in support o
 f this view\, and discuss its implications.
