This seems to be rather a large percentage if they have evolved from genes
to have as many children as possible. Perhaps genes are not the only driver
of human behaviour? BillK

For most of human history, a woman's desire to have children was nearly
irrelevant. Perhaps more relevant would be a woman's desire to copulate.
Even then, her desires may have been mostly irrelevant until the last dozen
centuries and only applicable in a portion of the world's human population.
