At ~15%–16% body fat, human infants have the highest body fat levels of any mammalian species (cf., Dewey et al., ; Kuzawa, ). Further, human infants continue to gain body fat during their early postnatal life.
During the first year, healthy infants typically increase in fatness from about 16% to about 25% (see Table ). Thus, the Cited by: Human obesity has a large genetic component, yet has many serious negative consequences.
How this state of affairs has evolved has generated wide debate. The thrifty gene hypothesis was the first attempt to explain obesity as a consequence of adaptive responses to an ancient environment that in modern society become disadvantageous.
The idea is that genes (or more Cited by: Spider Monkeys: Behavior, Ecology and Evolution of the Genus Ateles - Ebook written by Christina J.
