Menopausal women are to take care of them

In today's spinning world, they are a great source of help in looking after children for free. But since ancient times, grandmothers have played a more important role - helping humanity to survive and thrive. And they can also be responsible for the birth of menopause.

Studies have shown that in underdeveloped societies, having a grandmother to look after a newborn will increase its viability by up to 2 years.

Using multiple birth records and complex mathematical formulas, British scientists have found the most appropriate age for menopausal women is 50. According to their hypothesis, menopause is born to create So a generation of women who stop their ability to have children but still can take care of the children of their children, and bring benefits to the whole community.

The team from Newcastle University and University College London conducted research to find out why women lose their ability to give birth when they are still quite young, while other mammals still give birth when they are old. . They look at the two most likely explanations.

The first hypothesis is that menopause is a way to make sure women give birth when they are young enough, to prevent their chances of dying when children are too young to protect themselves. But there are too few mothers who die when their children are weak so this reason is difficult to convince.

However, the second hypothesis about grandmothers seems more reasonable. Research shows that if menopausal women are 50 years old, their children will benefit from taking care of their grandmother's grandchildren. As a result, the whole population grows together.

"Our research has shown the special role of menopause in human evolution and speaks to the importance of grandmothers," the researchers conclude.
