How We Do It

In How We Do It, primatologist Robert Martin explores the roots of human reproduction and child-rearing by examining our evolutionary history and comparing it with that of primates. Drawing on 40 years of research, the book sheds light on the natural origins of behaviors like fertility, breastfeeding, and toilet training, offering insights into how understanding our past can inform and improve current practices. With a focus on what truly works, Martin provides a thoughtful perspective on the future of human reproductive and parenting choices.
