Modeling the effects of weaning age on length of female reproductive period
OBJECTIVES: Human life history is unique among primates. Despite our extended lifespan, the length of the female reproductive period is shorter in humans than in our closest living relatives, chimpanzees. Here, we investigate whether this difference could be explained by another unique aspect of human life history-a young weaning age. METHODS: Age-dependent female fertility is modeled with the Brass polynomial. We model female reproductive period…
