What parent hasn't wondered "What do I do now?" as a baby cries or a teenager glares? As primatologist-turned-psychologist Harriet J. Making babies may come naturally, but knowing how to raise them doesn't.
In a narrative rich with vivid anecdotes derived from interviews with primatologists, from her own experience breeding cottontop tamarin monkeys for over thirty years, and from her clinical psychology practice, Smith describes the thousand and one ways that primate mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings, and even babysitters care for their offspring, from infancy through young adulthood.Smith Smith shows in this lively safari through the world of primates, parenting by primates isn't instinctive, and that's just as true for monkeys and apes as it is for humans.In this natural history of primate parenting, Smith compares parenting by nonhuman and human primates.
