Fatherhood : Evolution and Human Paternal Behavior / by Gray, Peter B. 1972-, author 523441, Anderson, Kermyt G. author 523443

“…Their work combines the insights of evolutionary and comparative biology, cross-cultural analysis, and neural physiology to deepen and expand our understanding of fatherhood―from the intense involvement in childcare seen in male hunter-gatherers, to the prodigality of a Genghis Khan leaving millions of descendants, to the anonymous sperm donor in a fertility clinic.Looking at every kind of fatherhood―being a father in and out of marriage, fathering from a distance, stepfathering, and parenting by gay males―this book presents a uniquely detailed picture of how being a parent fits with men's broader social and work lives, how fatherhood evolved, and how it differs across cultures and through time.…”
