Overt Menstruation
Is there any good reason why homo sapiens do it? Some primates reabsorb most of endometrium. Why don't we?

If I have to put up with this then at least I should know why.

I really want to know if there is a biological reason why we have overt menstruation.

There was a reusable cup, might still be available. I liked it. I guess I was the only one who did like it because I haven't seen them in years.

Re: Overt Menstruation
Don't animals reabsorb foetusus instead of miscarrying too..? I believe dogs do at least.. I haven't bothered reading up on this for some reason despite finding it interesting.
Edit: Found it, try googling 'fetal resorption'.
