How and why human males evolved the capacity to be highly involved caregivers—and why some are more involved than others.

We all know the importance of mothers. They are typically as paramount in the wild as they are in human relationships. But what about fathers? In most mammals, including our closest living primate relatives, fathers have little to no involvement in raising their offspring—and sometimes even kill the offspring sired by other fathers. How, then, can we explain modern fathers having the capacity to be highly engaged parents? In Father Nature, James Rilling explores how humans have evolved to endow modern fathers with this potential and considers why this capacity evolved in humans.

Paternal caregiving is advantageous to children and, by extension, to society at large, yet variable both across and within human societies. Rilling considers how to explain this variability and what social and policy changes might be implemented to increase positive paternal involvement. Along the way, Father Nature also covers the impact fathers have on children’s development, the evolution of paternal caregiving, how natural selection adapted male physiology for caregiving, and finally, what lessons an expecting father can take away from the book, as well as what benefits they themselves get from raising children, including increased longevity and “younger” brains.

A beautifully written book by a father himself, Father Nature is a much-needed—and deeply rewarding—look at the science behind “good” paternal behavior in humans.

人类男性是如何以及为什么进化出高度参与育儿能力的——以及为什么有些人比其他人更投入。 我们都明白母亲的重要性。在野外，她们的地位与我们在人际关系中的地位一样重要。那么父亲呢？在大多数哺乳动物中，包括我们最近的灵长类近亲中，父亲几乎没有参与抚养后代，并且有时甚至会杀掉其他父亲所生的后代。那么，如何解释现代父亲具备高度参与育儿的能力呢？在《父老乡亲》一书中，詹姆斯·里林探讨了人类是如何进化出给现代父亲这种潜力的，并考虑了这一能力为何会在人类中演化。 父亲养育子女对子女和社会都有好处，但这种参与度在不同的人类社会之间以及在同一个社会内部都有所变化。里林考虑如何解释这种多样性，以及可以实施哪些社会和政策改变来增加积极的父亲参与。在此过程中，《父老乡亲》也涉及了父亲对孩子发展的影响、父性养育的演化、自然选择如何适应男性生理以进行育儿，最后还讨论了期待成为父亲的人可以从书中获得什么启示，以及他们从抚养子女中获得的好处，包括延长寿命和“更年轻”的大脑。 这是一本由亲身经历过父亲角色的作者所写的优美书籍，《父老乡亲》是一部迫切需要且极其值得一看的人类良好父亲行为背后的科学。
