“Dads saved the human race,” says Anna Machin, evolutionary anthropologist and author of The Life of Dad.

Machin’s research on the anthropological roots of fatherhood and how fathers evolved to be parent figures has an equally extraordinary impact on men, women, and children—and the potential to change what our communities look like well into the future.
