I would like this whole comment thread a lot more if anyone linked to any studies or at least blog posts or books on amazon or something detailing where they got their ideas from (I don’t mean to be picking on anyone I just have very little knowledge of the subject and I’m curious where people got their first notions of things like “there exists a good diet which will make people feel healthier and live longer by a significant margin”)
My source is a book, and thus not terribly accessible. As Alicorn points out, menopause makes sense, but its existence strongly suggests enough women lived long enough for it to actually be selected for. It is not common in other animals.
