Tradeoffs in life history: allocation (making decisions: can grow or reproduce, but not both; can maintain body"s health but come at cost for growth or reproduction, decisions change at each life phase; set of allocations and decisions. : 1st 1000 days of human life critical for human development: phases: gestation (time in utero), infancy (time spent dependent nutritionally on others), early childhood (preschool years) = 1st 1000 days, includes conception. If good development during this phase, lots of health benefits, income benefits, etc. later. If not, difficult to make up the deficits: key transitions.
