Abstract

We present data from 122 nations showing that Baumard's argument on the ecological predictors of life history strategies and innovation is incomplete. Our analyses indicate that wealth, parasite stress, and cold climate impose orthogonal effects on life histories, innovation, and industrialization. Baumard also overlooks the historical exploitation of other nations which significantly enlarged the "pooled energy budget" available to England.

摘要

我们呈现了来自 122 个国家的数据，这些数据表明 Baumard 关于生活史策略和创新的生态预测因子的论点并不完整。我们的分析表明，财富、寄生虫压力和寒冷气候对生活史、创新和工业化施加了正交影响。Baumard 还忽略了对其他国家的历史剥削，这些剥削显著扩大了英国可用的“综合能源预算”。
