On a similar theme to the longevity of males:
  
Is the menopause confined to humans? primates? mammals?  

Is it a feature of longevity - would all female animals have one 
if they survived long enough? 

or 

Is there a selective advantage to having a menopause - would females with a
menopause leave more breeding progeny than those without?

(and of course, would men live longer with one?)
