人类女性生殖衰老的独特性使得许多研究人员认为更年期是一种适应，允许增加母亲对现有后代的投资。大部分的焦点都集中在祖母假说上，即老年女性通过投资于孙辈而获得包容性的健身优势。这一假说已经从对更年期的解释演变为对人类女性异常长的生育后寿命的解释。在老祖母假说中，更年期是一种有利于祖母的适应过程。这是为了尽早停止，以延长生育后的寿命。在新祖母假说中，祖母是一种促进寿命延长的适应，而更年期是一种副产品。本文回顾并批判性地评估了支持和反对这两种假设的证据，重点关注每个假设的关键预测。如果更年期是母亲投资增加的选择结果，那么这主要涉及母亲，而不是祖母。是。 J.哼。生物。 13:434–452, 2001。© 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
The singularity of reproductive senescence in human females has led many investigators to consider menopause an adaptation permitting increased maternal investment in existing progeny. Much of the focus has been on the grandmother hypothesis—the notion that aging women gain an inclusive fitness advantage from investing in their grandchildren. This hypothesis has evolved from an explanation for menopause into an explanation for the exceptionally long postreproductive lifespan in human females. In the old grandmother hypothesis, menopause is an adaptation facilitating grandmothering; it is about stopping early in order to create a postreproductive lifespan. In the new grandmother hypothesis, grandmothering is an adaptation facilitating increased longevity, and menopause is a byproduct. This paper reviews and critically evaluates the evidence for and against both hypotheses, focusing on key predictions of each. If menopause is the result of selection for increased maternal investment, this involved mainly mothers, not grandmothers. Am. J. Hum. Biol. 13:434–452, 2001. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
