Mothers and Others: The Evolutionary Origins of Mutual Understanding
by Sarah Blaffer Hrdy

Description
Mothers and Others finds the key in the primatologically unique length of human childhood. Renowned anthropologist Sarah Hrdy argues that if human babies were to survive in a world of scarce resources, they would need to be cared for, not only by their mothers but also by siblings, aunts, fathers, friends--and, with any luck, grandmothers. Out of this complicated and contingent form of childrearing, Hrdy argues, came the human capacity for understanding others. In essence, mothers and others show more teach us who will care, and who will not. show lessTags

In dit boek werkt Sarah Blaffer Hrdy de hypothese uit dat vroegmensachtige baby’s werden geboren in een wereld waar, door gewijzigde omstandigheden, andere verzorgers dan hun moeder van vitaal belang waren. Hulpouders waren essentieel voor het overleven van de kleintjes van die vroege mensachtigen.
In een maatschappij waar van goede gedeelde kinderzorg, en zorg in het algemeen, vooral op de kosten wordt gelet, geven de inzichten van Sarah Blaffer Hrdy stof tot nadenken.
