Becoming Dad: The Science of Fatherhood with Anna Machin

For more cool science visit www.scienceandcocktails.org
Does a man change biologically and psychologically when he becomes a dad? How do dads form their bond with their children? Do dads contribute uniquely to child development? How and why is fatherhood different around the world? Is ‘dad’ only genetically defined?
This talk by professor Anna Machin was recorded on Monday 1 July 2019 at Paradiso Noord, Amsterdam. For more science talks with dry ice cocktails check out:

    One of the biggest impedance in fathers being able to develop a relationship with their children is Maternal Gatekeeping.

    Just found this video and whilst I’m beyond elated to be a new father and wanted to absorb as much knowledge as I can to be the best father for my son. It’s sad to see such few views on such an important topic.

    Good talk, but I have a small problem with her portraying evolution like it's a thinking thing. Men became involved in the first place because those that didn't, didn't procreate. Now evolution didn't set out to help us biologically. The ones lucky enough to have got it randomly, were just more successful. She knows this, but it's a better story this way.

    So evolution is going from walking on all four to walking on two? She said 5% mammals are parents. So if you screwed the wrong guy. That's your fault for not killing the baby of a man that didn't evolve to take care of his child. Next time have a sex with a man that likes kids. Because she said men can become step fathers. In other word choose wisely whom to fuck. She's not making excuses for failures of men.

    You just don't understand her way of portraying it. Yes: successful mechanisms were the ones that were passed on. This is what evolution is. Also: men who do not involve do procreate and I don't believe for a second that it wasn't the case in the past. So as they were needed for child development mechanisms for attachment were created.

    She made the analogy with the apes. Male apes didn't need to stick around and could just procreate with any female. But as the baby needed more care, the father needed to stick around to protect him. That's why we have monogamy, because fathers wouldn't want to care for someone else's baby, so the couple had to be loyal to each other.
