Fatherhood

I'm curious if the optimal age for a female to have a child is the same as a male. Anyone know?

It is not
For females, the physical ideal, meaning "lowest chance of deformity or death" is 16-22, as females physically mature far faster than males do

>Humans have always lived way past their 40s for as long as they didn't die in infancy,

Or by war or disease or natural disaster or slavery/manual labor (crippled body/poor work conditions) which are all things that lower the average life expectancy.

All of which still exist to this day.
So what's your point?

>mfw I got a few years of saving before I can have kids
I'm okay with this. I want to have a deposit on a house by then tbqh

That's the point. You can only become a father if you surpass the average life expectancy, thus generating offspring more capable of surviving.

Wait at least 10 years from now. Designer babies will be a thing by then and you don't want to have a subhuman baby (compared to his peers) only because you couldn't wait a few years.
