“…In most human societies, mothers are not the sole caretakers of infants, and fathers, other relatives, and even unrelated individuals may participate in infant care (Geary 2005 ;Hewlett 1989 ;Hrdy 2008 ;Kramer 2010 ;Marlowe 2000 ) . Direct male care is facultative for our species and can range from being virtually absent to providing a substantial contribution to a child's upbringing.…”

“…Moreover, in some primate genera the interactions take on a qualitatively different form. In the three Neotropical taxa of titi monkeys, owl monkeys, and callitrichines, as well as in the old world siamangs, and some human societies, male care is much more direct and obligatory (FernandezDuque et al 2009 ;Geary 2005 ;Hewlett 1989 ;Marlowe 2000 ) . Male care seems to be linked to paternity certainty in many, albeit not all species, but it is not con fi ned to monogamous taxa.…”

“…Further, in most cultures, women receive assistance from other women when giving birth (Rosenberg & Trevathan, 2002). Similar examples are derived from nursing behavior; among the Efe, women will sometimes nurse another woman's child if the mother is not available (Hewlett, 1989). Among the Ache, women cooperate while foraging for food resources by holding another woman's child, or by creating trails to collectible food (Hill, 2002).…”

“…Evidence of shared care stems from studies on infant holding; Hewlett (1989; reports that among many foraging societies, an infant is held by someone other than the mother 20-60% of the time, usually a close female relative or trusted babysitter. Further, in most cultures, women receive assistance from other women when giving birth (Rosenberg & Trevathan, 2002).…”

“…In studies of child care, the child is the focal subject and those providing care are added to the record, followed by the kind of care or behavior they are directing toward the child. In the end, the caregiver has his or her behavior coded as care-giving, followed by the name of the subject receiving care followed by the kind of care being received (Hewlett 1989). The same basic procedure may be followed for any other kind of interaction.…”
