Description
Robert Martin's comprehensive exploration of human reproduction reveals surprising insights into our reproductive lives. By examining the evolution and future of human reproduction, he sheds light on what is truly natural when it comes to making and raising babies.
From the origins of sex cells to the way we care for newborns, Martin draws on forty years of research to locate the roots of everything from fertility to breastfeeding. He investigates our primate kin's reproductive history to distinguish which behaviors are worth continuing and which should be improved upon.
This book offers a much-needed context for our reproductive and child-rearing practices, providing a nuanced understanding of what worked in our evolutionary past and how we can apply this knowledge to shape the future of human reproduction.
