Humans invest
enormous amounts of time and energy into bringing up our babies.
This unique investment is a fundamental part of what it means to be
human. In this episode, the second in a three-part series on family
relationships, researchers Lee Gettler, Stacy Rosenbaum, and Sonny
Bechayda explore how our species' approach to fatherhood
may have shaped some of the most important traits that set us apart
from other mammals.
