@TrevorGoodchild I thought this determined when they had their first child but this is just the age of parents determined by genetic mutation and averaged, so this says almost nothing about the mating habits unless I can find the distribution somewhere

@WandererUber Yeah I need to find the dataset. But it makes a bit of sense with late menarche due to nutrition (calories haven't always been easy to come by)

@TrevorGoodchild @WandererUber Births to juvenile females tend to have high mortality rates due to lack of maternal resources and lack of maternal experience. You‘ll find the same pattern in other primate species and other mammals more generally.

@AuntNorma @WandererUber The sweet spot seems to be the female 20s. Earlier has a complication rate, likely due to unfinished physical development. After 30 the fertility dive kicks in. 35+ is geriatric pregnancy.
