>>>>>After men, and women, are past child rearing age they are disposable.<<<<<

The fallacy in your hypothesis, please excuse the bluntness, is the assumption that "child-bearing" and "child-rearing" ages are coextensive. I am a firm believer in the beneficial influence of grandparents. Isn't it likely that the children of parents whose own parents assisted in child-rearing family unit had a greater chance of survival? As the mother of two, it is plain to me that any outside assistance increases my young's survival rate, including having grandparents to spoil them.

So, having grandchildren won't make the grandparent have a greater survival benefit, or even if it does, too late for grandparent to benefit reproductively, except through increased survivability of grandchildren.

As for hairy men, nature clearly made them to excite the women folk, who are not turned on by smooth-limbed children.
