Short description:	Reproduction is the basis of life and evolution. Human reproductive ecology is research of human fertility over cross-cultural and ecological contexts. The major features of the human reproductive process must be considered in the theoretical context of the Life History Theory Exploring how migration across time and space has shaped modern human biology and continues to influence our daily lives, is important to understand the consequences biological integration in the past, and in the future.
Full description:	1. Global changes in lifestyles and their biocultural consequences on life cycle and reproductive health. 2. The influence of energetics on the allocation of reproductive effort. From Extreme thinness to obesity. 3. Malnutrition in the SDGs: stunting, wasting and overweight in children and adolescents. 4. Consequences of sociocultural transformation in reproductive behaviors. From natural fertility to its generalized control through contraception 5. Nutritional, Sexual and reproductive Health in the United Nations Agenda 2030, 6. Linking the ecology of reproduction with migration, demography and gender. 7. Biological aspects of human migration and mobility. Concept and types of migration. 8. Biosocial indicators to evaluate migration and its consequences 9. Migration and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDS)
