🔬Evolution is primarily focused on reproduction and the impact on offspring's reproduction.
🌍Human evolution has occurred within a relatively short time span compared to other organisms.
💡Infectious diseases have played a significant role in shaping human evolution.
🧬Ancient interbreeding events between Homo sapiens and other species have added genetic diversity to our species.
🌱Infant survival and reproductive success are key factors in human evolution.
What are the leading causes of death in infants?
—The leading causes of death in infants are primarily infectious diseases.
