CB, The fallacy in your hypothesis, please excuse the bluntness, is the assumption that "child-bearing" and "child-rearing" ages are coextensive. I agree entirely. I've spent a good deal of time in cultures that are generally regarded as "primitive", and noticed that the elders were anything but inutile. Aside from being the repositories of wisdom and general good advice, they spend a lot of time taking care of children, performing domestic jobs, and generally being useful. A healthy set of elders would certainly be a huge evolutionary advantage in any less developed human society. Not so sure about the role of body hair in all of this. I do hope you're wrong about its appeal to the opposite gender, since I have almost as little on my body as I have on my head. ;-) Steve

<< As for hairy men, nature clearly made them to excite the women folk, who are not turned on by smooth-limbed children. >> I thought that most women were turned off by excessively hairy men. Let's take an un-scientific poll. Do youse women like hairy men, or smoothies? Does the preference change with age? You say that you like hairy kids, Cobalt? Del
