Abstract: | The great majority of species that lived on this earth have gone extinct. These extinctions are often explained by invoking
changes in the environment, to which the species has been unable to adapt. Evolutionary suicide is an alternative explanation
to such extinctions. It is an evolutionary process in which a viable population adapts in such a way that it can no longer
persist. In this paper different models, where evolutionary suicide occurs are discussed, and the theory behind the phenomenon
is reviewed. |
