In a three year study of orangutans, it was found that all of them went into ketosis for about half of the year when high carb fruits were not available.  Pregnant and nursing females had the highest levels of ketones.
 Knott, C. 
"Changes in orangutan diet, caloric intake and ketones in response to fluctuating fruit availability." 
Int J Primatol (1998).19: 1061-1079. 
 
Poor Knott followed the apes as they made their way through the tree-tops catching their "yellow rain" ( and you thought your job sucked).
 
Stefansson mentions in "Cancer Disease of Civilization" that hunter-gatherer women have about half the labor of agricultural women according to several studies.  When I explained this to the midwives who were to attend the birth of my child, they gave me very condescending looks ( as in - first fathers are so cute).  When GrayHawk arrived and proved my point, they bought 6 copies of NeanderThin.
