  • Title: Life-History Evolution: Grandmothering in Space and Time.
    Author: Cant MA, Croft DP.
    Journal: Curr Biol; 2019 Mar 18; 29(6):R215-R218. PubMed ID: 30889394.
    Abstract:
    The evolutionary puzzle of the extended post-reproductive life of female humans has been explained by indirect fitness benefits gained by grandmothers helping raise their grandchildren. Two new studies support this 'grandmother hypothesis' and explore its limits in space and time.
