摘要:现代的人与古代相比并不急于结婚生子,越来越多的人推迟结婚时间和生育时间。在二十世纪之前,生理成熟与心理成熟一直同时发生,人们在性成熟之后很快就开始生育第一个后代。而现今,人们的生理成熟普遍较早,而心理成熟较晚,需要经过漫长的社会成熟,才能结婚生子,这就改变了人类的世代周期长度。因此,人类世代周期长度的控制不同于其它哺乳动物,人们可以相对自由地调控生育年龄。这个特点使得男性性成熟后产生精子前经历的DNA复制次数大大增加,从而影响到进化速率。性成熟之后经历的DNA复制次数在分子钟假说和世代周期假说中都没有考虑进去。这两种假说分别使用年和世代为单位来构建系统发育树,但是年和世代并不直接等比于进化速率,因而得到的结果并不十分准确。准确估算人类的进化速率需要依靠有丝分裂和减数分裂中不同的DNA修复机制和具体的突变速率,就必须将男性主导进化假说、世代周期假说以及代谢速率假说结合起来。本文介绍了各种传统的进化速率模型,并详细介绍精子产生的机制以及在精子产生过程中经历的DNA复制次数的计算方法。我们认为,晚育现象增加了精子产生前的有丝分裂次数,这一变化加快了人类进化速率。
