“…The evidence is mixed on the extent to which fertility decisions are consciously determined. The existence of contraception and abortion throughout recorded history is clear evidence for a desire to control fertility under at least some circumstances [8]. Bledsoe's ethnographic research in the Gambia also suggests that couples in small-scale societies engage in very active conscious strategizing about reproductive timing in order not to have births that are too closely spaced [9].…”

Decades of research on human fertility has presented a clear picture of how fertility varies, including its dramatic decline over the last two centuries in most parts of the world. Why fertility varies, both between and within populations, is not nearly so well understood. Fertility is a complex phenomenon, partly physiologically and partly behaviourally determined, thus an interdisciplinary approach is required to understand it. Evolutionary demographers have focused on human fertility since the 1980s. The first wave of evolutionary demographic research made major theoretical and empirical advances, investigating variation in fertility primarily in terms of fitness maximization. Research focused particularly on variation within high-fertility populations and small-scale subsistence societies and also yielded a number of hypotheses for why fitness maximization seems to break down as fertility declines during the demographic transition. A second wave of evolutionary demography research on fertility is now underway, paying much more attention to the cultural and psychological mechanisms underpinning fertility. It is also engaging with the complex, multi-causal nature of fertility variation, and with understanding fertility in complex modern and transitioning societies. Here, we summarize the history of evolutionary demographic work on human fertility, describe the current state of the field, and suggest future directions.

“…• Juramento Hipocrático: el antiguo Juramento Hipocrático no prohibía el aborto, lo que prohibía era el uso con tal fin de "supositorios vaginales" (pesarios), probablemente por las úlceras vaginales que decían que producían 28 . Se han encontrado escritos de Hipócrates aconsejando a una prostituta que se quedó embarazada que saltara continuamente tocando las nalgas con los tacones en cada salto para inducir el aborto 29 .…”
