The title must seem odd, you must be thinking “all mammals bleed,” but I am not speaking of all humans. I am speaking of human females and when they bleed every month after puberty. It is odd that when other mammals are in heat, some bleed to attract mates, but for human females, when they bleed, they are getting rid of the uteral lining. In other mammals they absorb the lining. So what happened in evolution to keep human females from doing the same?
This seems like the wrong question. What I mean by this is most of the hominid family menstruate; this includes, of course, humans but also non-human apes, and Old World monkeys. With other apes it's not as apparent as with human females. What I mean by this is when non-human female apes menstruate it is not as heavy as it is in human females. And that in other species when they do bleed it is a time when they are most fertile, not unlike menstruating species when that time is their least fertile. It is still not apparent why this happens in a small selection of species because it seems to be more beneficial to absorb than not to.
Why do you think there Is a select few who go through this disposal of the uteral lining?

I apologize for my long hiatus; I will do my best to post when an idea for a post comes to mind. The main reason I am writing again is because I have gotten feedback that people are reading these. With that, I leave you with this interesting, and thought provoking, fun fact.
