related to the difference in maturation rates, that is--whites have a slower life plan

This is why the arguments about "but there's no gap at age 2" (or whatever) is worthless. Speed of maturation and endpoint are uncorrelated.

For what it's worth, chimp babies test ahead of humans at 6 months. Why are chimp mothers so bad that they allow such a gap later?
