The link to the paper wasn't loading for me. But I would love to see the reasons for extrapolating present-day biology back 250k years?

A fundamental tenet of much modern science (and, especially, punditry) is that humans have completed the evolutionary process.

I’m going to hazard a guess at -9 months for both sexes? :P

Tbh, I thought in early humans females got pregnant at 12-15. Simply because that when they begin to have the capability to have kids.

No, zero is when you're born. Conception is ~9 months before that.
