What We Already Knew

A father's touch

Fathers are relevant after all. Who knew? From the Telegraph:

Men 'biologically wired' to care for children

Men are "biologically wired" to be fathers - not just to father children - according to authors of a study which found testosterone falls when a baby arrives.
...
Christopher Kuzawa, a faculty fellow at the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern, and a co-author of the study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, said: "Humans are unusual among mammals in that our offspring are dependent upon older individuals for feeding and protection for more than a decade.

"Raising human offspring is such an effort that it is cooperative by necessity, and our study shows that human fathers are biologically wired to help with the job."

I love it when the world's smartest tell us common folk, in their sterile, clinical patois, the obvious.
