A theory is proposed that unites and organizes observations and generates many theoretical and empirical predictions that can be tested in future research by comparative biologists, archeologists, paleontologists, biological anthropologists, demographers, geneticists, and cultural anthropologists.

This model predicts that psychological mechanisms regulating parental investment in offspring quality may lead to greater and greater investment in own and offspring education, a smaller desired family size, a delay in the onset of reproduction, and a reduction in the total numbers of offspring produced.

A new ecological framework for understanding variations in each of those domains and then to apply the framework to understanding both the special characteristics of the authors' species in a comparative perspective and variations within and among human groups is introduced.

An optimality model of human fertility is tested to determine whether current behavior does maximize fitness and, if not, to use the specific nature of the behavioral deviations from fitness maximization towards the development of models of evolved proximate mechanisms that may have maximized fitness in the past but lead to deviations under present conditions.
