CARTA- Birth to Grandmotherhood: Childrearing in Human Evolution – Breast Milk and Breastfeeding, Oxytocin Pathways and Human Evolution, and Hunter-Gatherer Childhood and Human Evolution
Date: 4/21/2014; 58 minutes
From the moment of birth, human infants require an inordinate amount of care and, unlike our nearest living relatives, remain dependent on a variety of caretakers during an unusually long maturation period followed by extraordinary adult longevity. How did such a distinctive pattern of development evolve and what other human features are linked to it? Katie Hinde (Harvard Univ) begins with a discussion about Breast Milk and Breastfeeding, followed by Sue Carter (Univ of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) on Oxytocin Pathways and Human Evolution, and Melvin Konner (Emory Univ) on Hunter-Gatherer Childhood and Human Evolution.
