Instead of being about career development, it's been about specializing in hunter/gatherer stuff while still able bodied. https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/grandmothers-a... |

Iirc that's at least partly due to estrogen & other female hormones. They have I think anti-infection or anti-cancer properties. (Though if your comment was from an evolutionary perspective that would make sense.)
