Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During infancy, primates are heavily dependent on their mothers for nursing, transport, and thermoregulation, but also benefit from associating with their mothers for protection and social support. Furthermore, the mother acts as a role model for social learning, facilitates the interaction with the physical environment and the integration into a broader social network. The repeated interactions and reciprocity between mother and infant, along with the time that they spend together, lead to the formation of the mother-infant bond, which is typically recognised as the strongest social bond i...

Download or read book Our Babies Ourselves written by Meredith Small and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-09-07 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thought-provoking combination of practical parenting information and scientific analysis, Our Babies, Ourselves is the first book to explore why we raise our children the way we do--and to suggest that we reconsider our culture's traditional views on parenting. New parents are faced with innumerable decisions to make regarding the best way to care for their baby, and, naturally, they often turn for guidance to friends and family members who have already raised children. But as scientists are discovering, much of the trusted advice that has been passed down through generations needs to be carefully reexamined. In this ground-breaking book, anthropologist Meredith Small reveals her remarkable findings in the new science of ethnopediatrics. Professor Small joins pediatricians, child-development researchers, and anthropologists across the country who are studying to what extent the way we parent our infants is based on biological needs and to what extent it is based on culture--and how sometimes what is culturally dictated may not be what's best for babies. Should an infant be encouraged to sleep alone? Is breast-feeding better than bottle-feeding, or is that just a myth of the nineties? How much time should pass before a mother picks up her crying infant? And how important is it really to a baby's development to talk and sing to him or her? These are but a few of the important questions Small addresses, and the answers not only are surprising, but may even change the way we raise our children.

Book excerpt: The need to successfully navigate complex social environments has been a driving force in primate cognitive evolution. Few studies, however, have addressed the developmental processes that result in the sophisticated social skills exhibited by adults. Fewer still have investigated these processes in their ecological context, through observations of wild animals. My dissertation contributes to this lacuna by adopting concepts and methods from anthropological and psychological studies of human development, and applying them to the study of wild olive baboons. As the most widespread and successful non-human primate species, and the one with arguably the greatest socio-ecological complexity, these animals are ideal study subjects. Over the course of 16 months, I collected data on infant behavior, mother-infant interactions, and infants' attachment relationships in wild but habituated individuals at the Uaso Ngiro Baboon Project site in Kenya. I then situated my data both in time and space, through the analysis of long-term UNBP data and the comparison of two baboon troops in ecologically distinct areas. My results demonstrate the validity of using visual orientation to investigate baboon cognition; the positive effect of exposure to social interactions on the development of social competence; and the crucial role played by mothers as gatekeepers of infant social exposure. I also describe the intricate and reciprocal ways that maternal responsiveness and infants' secondary attachments interact in shaping infant behavior, supporting a developmental model whereby infants are influenced but at the same time influence those with whom they interact. Finally, rapid environmental changes have led to faster female reproductive rates in one study troop. Here I show how this has affected maternal behavior with consequences for the development of infant independence and social behavior. My research nests infant baboons' social behavior within ever-broadening spheres of influence, from the mother-infant relationship to large-scale environmental changes, shedding light on the dynamic and dialectical relationship between individual behavior and the broader socio-ecological context. In doing so, I provide a comparative evolutionary model of the effects of developmental context on the process of socialization, thereby improving our understanding of how naïve infants--human and non-human alike--become competent social actors.
