Explain to her that while we don't know the exact cause of preeclampsia, it's likely related to placental dysfunction and abnormal blood vessel formation early in pregnancy.
For crown group mammals, our most recent common ancestor is the one shared by placentals like us, marsupials like the kangaroo, and the monotremes like the platypus.
Over the course of many hundreds of years, scientists have noted the ability of marsupials to surpass placentals in competition for resources and niche environments.
If a dinosaur chases a placental mammal, you know, in the Cretaceous, they're going to catch that placental mammal and that little girl, and then they're going to eat all her babies along with her.
