Answer to Question 1

Biological reasons would be the introduction of soft foods to infants at an earlier age, eliminating long-term breast-feeding, and ovulation suppression; two potential cultural reasons are (1) the rising value of labor, and (2) the rising value of using children as labor on farms and the high infant mortality rate that would have caused people to value children more and purposely increase reproduction.

Answer to Question 2

False
