| Summary: | Maternal instinct is a universal phenomenon, responsible in many ways for the incredible success of human beings as a species. But contrary to the myth, maternal love is neither automatic nor guaranteed. Natural selection means many pressures influence a mother's attitude and the choices she makes when confronted with the arrival of a new baby. In this original and provocative film, pioneering primatologist and best selling author Sarah Blaffer Hrdy shares her vision of motherhood and its crucial role in human evolution. |
