| Title |
Hadza women's time allocation, offspring provisioning, and the evolution of long postmenopausal life spans |
| Date |
1997 |
| Description |
Extended provisioning of offspring and long postmenopausal life spans are characteristic of all modern humans but no other primates. These traits may have evolved in tandem. Analysis of relationships between women's time allocation and children's nutritional welfare among the Hadza of northern Tanzania yields results consistent with this proposition. Implications for current thought about the evolution of hominid food sharing, life history, and social organization are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
