| h English (en) | The [[thrifty gene hypothesis]] postulates that, due to dietary scarcity during human evolution, people are prone to obesity. Their ability to take advantage of rare periods of abundance by storing energy as fat would be advantageous during times of varying food availability, and individuals with greater adipose reserves would be more likely to survive [[famine]]. This tendency to store fat, however, would be maladaptive in societies with stable food supplies. This theory has received various criticisms, and other evolutionarily-based theories such as the [[drifty gene hypothesis]] and the [[thrifty phenotype|thrifty phenotype hypothesis]] have also been proposed. |
| h Japanese (ja) | [[thrifty gene hypothesis/ja|倹約遺伝子仮説]]は、人類が進化する過程で食事が乏しくなったために肥満になりやすくなったと仮定している。脂肪としてエネルギーを蓄えることで稀にある豊かな時期を利用する能力は、食料の入手可能性が変化する時期に有利であり、脂肪を多く蓄えた個体は[[famine/ja|飢饉]]を生き延びる可能性が高くなる。しかし、脂肪を蓄えるこの傾向は、食糧供給が安定している社会では不適応となる。この説は様々な批判を受けており、[[drifty gene hypothesis/ja|漂流遺伝子仮説]]や[[thrifty phenotype/ja|倹約的表現型仮説]]といった進化論に基づく他の説も提唱されている。 |
