Different in degree or kind: only humans have menopause (Introduction)

by dhw, (2812 days ago) @ David Turell

QUOTE: "The studies are part of a broader effort to explain the existence of menopause, a rarity in the animal kingdom. The so-called “grandmother hypothesis” stipulates that, from an evolution standpoint, women’s longevity is due to their contributions to their grandkids’ survival, thus extending their own lineage. (David's bold)

DAVID’s comment: Followers of Darwin can make up all sorts of just-so stories. There is no clear evidence that grand motherhood evolved to keep another generation alive. Note my bold.
Menopause in another big way that humans differ from all other animals.

So why do you think your God specially designed the menopause?
