Abstract

The field of life history “theory” is in a state of heightened entropy; the paper by Ellis, Reid, and Kramer provides a proposal for structuring future research on this topic. I find their proposal a constructive one and describe its potential benefits. Furthermore, I propose several ways in which we can additionally develop the life history framework.
