Read Jared Diamond "Why is Sex Fun?"  In that book he postulates that 
Menopause is necessary for our survival.  Because of our big head child 
birth is dihibiliting and can lead to death.  Having a grandmother around 
who can help care for the mother and child increases the chances of survival 
of both.  Menopause saves the older woman from the rigors and real danger of 
childbirth.
