Latrice asked:


What is the history of breastfeeding in homo sapiens and our ancestors? At what age did early humans stop breastfeeding?

Did it help advance our species?

What do you think when someone refers to modern breastfeeding as “disgusting and primitive. We are not cavemen”

How does breastfeeding tie into “survival of the fittest”?

I wrote down prehistory in my notes as: when there is a comprehensible language then its prehistory, and if we can’t figure out their written language, then its not considered prehistory. But apparently I thought I would remember when its considered history. But I don’t. Anyone know?
