This special issue focuses on the relationship between life history and learning, especially during human evolution. 'Life history' refers to the developmental programme of an organism, including its period of immaturity, reproductive rate and timing, caregiving investment and longevity. Across many species an extended childhood and high caregiving investment appear to be correlated with particular kinds of plasticity and learning. Human life history is particularly distinctive; humans evolved an exceptionally long childhood and old age, and an unusually high level of caregiving investment, at the same time that they evolved distinctive capacities for cognition and culture. The contributors explore the relations between life history, plasticity and learning across a wide range of methods and populations, including theoretical and empirical work in biology, anthropology and developmental psychology. This article is part of the theme issue 'Life history and learning: how childhood, caregiving and old age shape cognition and culture in humans and other animals'.
本期特刊聚焦于生命史与学习之间的关系，特别是在人类进化过程中。“生命史”是指生物体的发育计划，包括其不成熟期、繁殖率和时间、照顾投资和寿命。在许多物种中，延长的童年期和高的照顾投资似乎与特定类型的可塑性和学习相关。人类的生命史尤为独特；人类进化出了异常长的童年期和老年期，以及异常高的照顾投资水平，与此同时，人类还进化出了独特的认知和文化能力。本文集探讨了生命史、可塑性和学习之间的关系，涵盖了生物学、人类学和发展心理学等广泛领域的理论和实证工作。本文是“生命史和学习：童年、照顾和老年如何塑造人类和其他动物的认知和文化”主题特刊的一部分。
