Abstract

Fathering since early stages, has been decisive in our species phylogeny, considering one of the most important adaptation in the evolutionary path separation with the rest of primates, neoteny. This allowed high brain development, but poorly autonomous newborns, highly dependent on their parents, which is known as “altricial development”. This is a known model in birds, with fathering about 90%, but very low in mammals (10%). The aim of this review is to search for evidence about the existence of neuroendocrine conditioning of this ancestrally inherited behavior in human fathers. Evidence based on neurosciences in human, animal and paleoanthropological studies, suggests that the acquisition of this behavior in the phylogeny of our species was decisive in the survival up to the present time.
