An evolutionary perspective on kin care directed up the generations
Abstract Within evolutionary sciences, care towards younger kin is well understood from an inclusive fitness framework, but why adults would care for older relatives has been less well researched. One existing model has argued that care directed towards elderly parents might be adaptive because of their benefits as carers themselves, with their help freeing up the middle generations’ energy which can then be invested into direct reproduction.

Sexual frequency is associated with age of natural menopause: results from the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation
1. Background There is a great deal of cross-cultural variation in age of natural menopause (ANM) [1]; and while it is largely governed by genetic factors [2], it is estimated that up to half of the population variance in menopause timing is the result of non-genetic influences [3]. The number of follicles a woman has is established in utero at around five months gestation, and is therefore finite at approximately seven million [4].
