Abstract
Despite its unquestionable presence in the vital development of a large part of human beings, menopause is a rare phenomenon in the context of mammals. In most mammals, physiological and reproductive ageing occur together and are usually associated with near death. Menopause, however, refers to a primarily reproductive senescence that, in humans, occurs earlier than their general senescence and does not represent the end of their life course. Biological senescence occurs in parallel with other processes that shape the human ageing process.
