Father Time: A Natural History of Men and Babies
Sarah Blaffer Hrdy,
Fathers today are more likely than in the past to find themselves encouraged, permitted, sometimes wanting, at other times compelled, to take on new roles caring for babies and very young children. Some even become primary caretakers of newborns with no mother involved at all. These nurturing men may be bottle-feeding rather than breastfeeding, yet they respond to babies as sensitively as the most caring mother does. Given social science’s well-documented finding that everywhere “Fatherhood is culturally defined,”1 and given the rate at which culture is changing, should anyone be surprised?
Behavioral flexibility, after all, is a human specialty. Why shouldn’t paternal behavior morph right along with new socioeconomic and cultural circumstances like women working, lapsing patriarchies, and novel methods for conceiving or feeding babies? Aren’t such transformations exactly what we would expect?
