Compared to most other species, humans have a very long childhood. A dog is an adult in a matter of months. We take 18 years and sometimes longer. Why are we so dependent on others for so long? Has it always been like this? What else is unique about your human childhood? It turns out, a lot! And here with some surprising answers is Breana Hassett. She is biological anthropologist and researcher at University College, London, as well as a Scientific Associate at the Natural History Museum in London. Breana is also author of the book, Growing Up Human: The Evolution of Childhood (https://amzn.to/4eIa9eZ).
