I'm delurking.
The mechanism of synchronized menstrual periods among women living closely
in the same group may have helped in Paleo times when a baby's mother died
or was otherwise incapacitated. Women synchronized in menstrual periods
were likely to also be synchronized in ovulation, and thus in being
pregnant at the same time. Therefore, a baby whose mother died would have
other lactating mothers around.
Back to lurking.
