Description
Fatherhood Evolution and Human Paternal Behavior by Peter B. Gray and Kermyt G. Anderson explores how having a child affects a man's life, revealing changes in his sexuality, brain function, and hormonal profile. The authors' research, spanning over two decades and covering diverse cultures, deciphers the findings of numerous studies to provide insight into fatherhood. From male hunter-gatherers to anonymous sperm donors, their work sheds light on how being a parent fits with men's broader social and work lives. This book presents a detailed picture of how fatherhood has evolved across cultures and through time, examining various forms of fatherhood such as those in marriage, from a distance, stepfathering, and parenting by gay males.
