Could be. I do think that the enlarged breasts could have something
to do with a benefit for h.s.s. infants. I am not sure exactly what,
it would help if we knew just when breasts became enlarged.
I have to admit that I like Elaine Morgans' just so story about them
better than the usual 'breasts enlarged to aid in sexual selection'
theory! But then, I am female and would rather think that anyway!
