Probably confounded by the social dynamics of human groups. There also isn't any evidence that it would extend reproductive lifespan either.

- toasterlovin 6y ago> There also isn't any evidence that it would extend reproductive lifespan either. FWIW, it doesn't need to do this. It just need to result in more surviving children and grandchildren. Looking 5-10 years younger when you're a female between the ages of 25 and 40 could A) get you access to a higher status mate who can better provide for your children, and/or B) keep your mate more interested in you, reducing the likelihood that they will continue to provide for the children you have with them.
