By: Marlowe, Frank.
Abstract
Child care among Hadza hunting and gathering families is not the responsibility of mothers alone. Care is also provided by others, most notably grandmothers, aunts, and older siblings. Drawing on this observation, the author puts forward broader generalizations about the role of cooperative breeding and child rearing in human evolution.
