Abstract:	Demonstrates a slight decrease in the skeletally derived mean age-at-death with the adoption of agriculture or intensification of agriculture. This trend, interpreted from a "fertility" perspective, is more likely to reflect increasing fertility rather than any change in life expectancy Pennington (1992) using ethnographic analysis of Kan San suggests that sedentism/agriculture complex does not alter female fertility, but instead acts to decrease childhood mortality.
