A test of the intergenerational conflict model in Indonesia shows no evidence of earlier menopause in female-dispersing groups.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Aug 2014

Snopkowski Kristin, Moya Cristina, Sear Rebecca

Abstract excerpt

Menopause remains an evolutionary puzzle, as humans are unique among primates in having a long post-fertile lifespan. One model proposes that intergenerational conflict in patrilocal populations favours female reproductive cessation. This model predicts that women should experience menopause earlier in groups with an evolutionary history of patrilocality compared with matrilocal groups. Using data from the...
