	This article is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy. If you would like to participate, there are some suggestions on this page (see also Wikipedia:Contributing FAQ for more information) or visit WikiProject Evolutionary biology.

[edit] Disambiguation from Bateman's principle

Trivers' PI theory here needs to be disambiguated from Bateman's principle Pete.Hurd 01:44, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Summary

There needs to be a short, more clear and concise summery of this article.

That is, a lead section. Richard001 00:56, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Human parental investment

And where's the article for human parents "investing" in their children's education, upbringing, helping them get started in business or society, etc.? I met a socialist politician once who vehemently objected to the idea that "parents who love their children more" could provide any advantages to them! --Uncle Ed 15:48, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

This is about evolutionary biology theory, and is a technical term often used. If you want to create something for humans, start from the parenting article and break it off into a new article if it gets large enough. Richard001 00:56, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
