We're back for the second part of this episode.
We're talking about menopause and how it's super weird.
We thought for a long time we're the only ones who did it.
And then scientists learned about orcas.
And scientists started watching them and they sort of thought, oh, maybe we're solving this evolutionary puzzle.
So again, this is this guy, Kevin Langergraber.
One important detail that I didn't mention before about Kevin is that every year for the past 25 years, Kevin has spent time living what he calls chimp life.
working on this thing called the Ngogo Chimpanzee Project.
And then he spends the rest of his day just watching them.
They're grooming, they're hunting, they're eating.
So kind of right from the beginning of his time there, Kevin started to notice something interesting about the older female chimps.
