W17 Th01 26.pdf Survivorship Curves a 10 -Type I survivorship curve g reflects low offspring numbers 9 10 with high parental investment. (e.g., humans and other large ll mammals) 100 Percentage of maximum life span Type ll survivorship curve reflects an intermediate level in offspring number and parental investment (e.g., squirrels, lizards, annual plants, invertebrates) -Type Ill survivorship curve generally reflects low or no parental investment in offspring. (e.g., oysters, giant squid, fish, most plants

Solution

In case of Human the curve is more like Hyperbolic in nature, that means in human whole life, very few or less time spend for reproduction and most of the time used for protection of their offsprings. So all humans are K selected species. All K selected species used to give less preference to Reproduction, but most of the life sacrifice for their childrens. The lifespan of the organisms and body size is also very high.

The mode3rn medicine and Birth control methods also increased the life span of all the humans.
