[quote=Anonymous]As a post menopausal female, I’ve read a bunch of books on the anthropology of menopause. The interviewer framed it all backward - the question isn’t why post menopausal women exist, the question is why menopause exists. Why don’t human women go on bearing children into old age? Other species do. The reason is that it benefits human beings, human societies, human families, for women to have a life stage where they do things other than mothering children. Sure, that can be taking care of grandbabies. But there are all sorts of roles older women played in pre-historic cultures - leader, healer, teacher. Just like post erectile dysfunction men. And those roles are good for human survival.[/quote]
