Survey says menopausal women find blindfolded knife throwing at faux researchers bring instant relief

Below is a perfect example of how taxpayers' money gurgles down the drain when those huge grants and subsidies are given to brain dead universities and their equally brain-dead researchers to come up with any kind of  utter rubbish so long as it is cloaked in  intelligent sounding shit.  However, shit is shit, whether you paid 100s for the gourmet meal that produced it or a dollar at your nearest McDonald ....  and the only place for it is down the toilet hole.

Theories abound as to why women go into menopause, but the latest hypothesis being put forward suggests it may be men — or specifically their preference for younger mates —that has led to women’s loss of fertility at a certain age.

Researchers at McMaster University believe that over tens of thousands of years, a lack of reproduction among older women has given rise to menopause as an unintended result of evolutionary natural selection.

Using computer modelling, the researchers found that over time, competition among men of all ages for younger mates left older females with much less chance of reproducing.

“We are saying somewhere along the line, men began to change their preference in mating,” said evolutionary biologist Rama Singh, co-author of the study published in this week’s issue of the journal PLOS Computational Biology.

“What we’re saying is that menopause will occur if there is a preferential mating with younger women and older women are not reproducing,” he said Thursday from Hamilton, Ont..........
