In a report by ABC News, the headlines read “City Living Increases Men’s Death Risk” The headlines were based on a study of 3,617 adults who lived in the United States and were more than 25 years old. One researcher said, “Elevated levels of tumor deaths suggest the influence of physical, chemical and biological exposures in urban areas... Living in cities also involves potentially stressful levels of noise, sensory stimulation and overload, interpersonal relations and conflict, and vigilance against hazards ranging from crime to accidents.” Is a conclusion that living in an urban environment causes an increased risk of death justified?

A parent population (P) is change into daughter populations (Q) which grow in habitats. After 1000 generations, the equilibrium frequency distribution of of the daughter populations is shown in the figure below. For reference, the vertical line represents the mean of the parent population. Which type of natural selection?
