| dc.description.abstract | Women experience menopause – the cessation of reproductive function – at around 50 years of age, and typically live for decades after the end of fertility. Among mammals, only four species of toothed whales seem to show a similar pattern of early reproductive cessation followed by prolonged post-reproductive life. In this primer, we discuss the possible reasons for the evolution of this unusual life history trait, and why it is restricted to humans and to whales. | en_GB |
