Seems to me the researcher has an agenda here. Female longevity has greatly benefited from better health care. In prehistoric times, food surpluses led to lower mortality rates and longer lifespans, but also to larger family size (and also made civilization possible). As the agrarian percentage of the population declined due to mechanization, the need for larger families declined. And of course, there have been political pressures toward so-called zero population growth. |
