Growing Up Human by Brenna Hassett
The Evolution of Childhood
An engaging exploration of why humans have such a long, complex childhood and how that extended period of growth shapes our bodies, brains, and societies. Drawing on evidence from bones, teeth, and cultures around the world, it traces the evolutionary roots of infancy, play, language, adolescence, and cooperative caregiving, showing how learning and social bonds are built into our development. Blending science and storytelling, it connects deep-time history with modern challenges facing children today.
