Just a guess.
Round, pronounced hips signal fertiity, so I think you are correct. The butt is kind of part of the hips...
Not so much that they signal fertility, which is a monthly thing, but rather, they indicate that the woman has better odds of surviving childbirth and being a contributing parent in the long term. As humans evolved, perinatal cranial capacity grew, and a fine line was drawn between optimal pelvic room and optimal brain size. A woman who could more easily give birth to a large-brained child was, I think more likely to give birth successfully, take part in parenting so that the child could have better odds of reaching maturity, and as a bonus, allow for children with larger brains.
