Social cognition: evolutionary history of emotional engagements with infants

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

A new mother and baby gaze into each other's eyes, mutually engaging with facial expressions, kisses and greetings. A new study shows that this behaviour is not uniquely human: such intersubjective interactions may have an evolutionary history of at least 30 million years.
