40 | Mothers, Fathers, And The Many Myths We Have Held ~ Sarah Blaffer Hrdy
Manage episode 417191082 series 3403620
Over half a century, Sarah Blaffer Hrdy has challenged many of our myths about parenting, attachment, and "human nature".
In this conversation, we dive into her remarkable career, culminating in her new book, Father Time.
[You can now order Father Time via Amazon or Princeton Uni Press]
We discuss a variety of topics, from hunter-gatherer parenting to the limitations of comparing humans to chimpanzees. We also discuss "allomothers", attachment theory, and the tragedy of infanticide. We finish with a discussion on the remarkable social changes in fatherhood and the neuroscience that has enabled it.
As always, we finish with Hrdy’s reflections on humanity.
