An international study of nearly 70,000 women has identified more than forty regions of the human genome that are involved in governing at what age a woman goes through menopause. ̽»¨Ö±²¥study, led by scientists at the Universities of Cambridge and Exeter, found that two thirds of those regions contain genes that act to keep DNA healthy, by repairing the small damages that can accumulate with age. 

When you’re prey, being able to spot and assess the threat posed by potential predators is of life-or-death importance.
