Exactly.

Thanks. I was just going to make that point.

Pelvic structure is in play as well as head size.

Also note that there's more to raising children than lactating. Women typically needed to be in good enough shape to do hunting/gathering/food growing.

See Sarah Hrdy's Mother Nature for a reminder that motherhood takes place in the world, not just between the mother and child.
