Krátky popis
Brings the science of biological anthropology to bear on
understanding how our evolutionary history has shaped a phenomenon
everyone has experienced – childhood. Tracking deep into our
evolutionary history, anthropological science has begun to unravel
one particular feature that sets us apart from the many, many
animals that came before us – our uniquely long childhoods.
Growing Up Human looks at how we have diverged from our ancestral
roots to stay â€~forever young’ – or at least what seems like
forever – and how the evolution of childhood is a critical part
of the human story.Beginning with a look at the ways animals invest
in their offspring, the book moves through the many steps of making
a baby, from pair-bonding to hidden ovulation, points where our
species has repeatedly stepped off the standard primate path. From
the mystery of monogamy to the minefield of modern parenting
advice, biological anthropologist Brenna Hassett reveals how
differences between humans and our closest cousins lead to our
messy mating systems, dangerous pregnancies, and difficult births,
and what these tell us about the kind of babies we are trying to
build. Using observations of our closest primate relatives, the
tiny relics of childhood that come to us from the archaeological
record, and the bones and teeth of our ancestors, science has
started to unravel the evolution of our childhood right down the
fossil record.In our species investment doesn’t stop at birth,
and as Growing Up Human reveals, we can compare every aspect of our
care and feeding, from the chemical composition of our milk to our
fondness for formal education from ancient times onwards, in order
to understand just what we evolved our weird and wonderful
childhoods for.
