Maiden Mother Matriarch with Louise Perry

CHAPTER

Evolution of Smell, Hearing, and Fatherhood in Humans

The chapter delves into why evolution favors smell and hearing over vision in newborns, the challenges of human childbirth due to our species' large brains, and the evolution of fatherhood in humans around half a million years ago. It explores the transition from a multi-male, multi-female structure to a male-female based family model, the concept of mate guarding, the differences between maternal and paternal love, and the unique parenting roles of fathers in rough and tumble play for child development.
