“…Work in all these fields makes it apparent that cultural evolutionary processes need to be considered as part of any kind of evolutionary approach when examining temporal patterns of fertility variation. There is a general consensus among demographers (Bongaarts and Watkins 1996; Bras 2014; National Research Council 2001; Pollak and Watkins 1993), for example, that explanations for low fertility should be sought in a combination of economic reasons (including considerations of lower child mortality and increased costs of rearing children) along with the diffusion of novel ideas through social interactions (e.g., use of contraception)—ideas that are also heavily associated with work in behavioral ecology and cultural evolution.…”

“…For the same reason, the indirect educational effects on fertility may be much greater than expected (Caldwell 1980). The literature also suggests that any efforts to explain the decline in fertility over the course of the transition should take into account both structural and diffusion effects (Bras 2014;Casterline 2001;Cleland 2001). Interestingly, scholars disagree about which model is empirically supported and how the fertility differentials end (James, Skirbekk, and Bavel 2012;Jeffery and Basu 1996;Lutz and Goujon 2001).…”

“…Some researchers (Reher 1999;Brown and Guinnane 2002;Reher and Sanz-Gimeno 2007;Cummins 2009;van Poppel et al 2012) have expressed great scepticism as to the usefulness of aggregated data for understanding changes in reproductive behaviours in the past, and have recommended using information about individual cases obtained through family reconstruction techniques. In recent years, admirable efforts have been made to reconstruct various populations within Europe over longer or shorter periods of time (Knodel, 1988;Wrigley et al 1997;Alter et al 2007;Schellekens and Van Poppel 2012;Bras 2014;Schulz et al 2015;Reher et al 2017).…”
