Assumption: early/pre humans were monogamous and an elder female would be able to find a new mate.

Strict monogamy is not seen in primitive cultures. The high-status men have multiple wives. Also, a widowed grandmother may be kept around as a babysitter in any culture.

Yeah. I figured that was the situation. There is a lot of proof that humans were not monogamous.
