Fathers Who Tend To Their Infants Are Less Aggressive and More Likely to Evolve

An interesting summary of a research on Fatherhood revealed that Dads are as essential as Moms. In this same research it also showed that fathers who directly get their hands dirty on infant care lessens testosterone level and amazingly "they also gain prolactin, the hormone associated with lactation, as well as cortisol, the stress hormone that also spikes in mothers after childbirth and helps them pay attention to the baby’s needs", says Dialectic Dad.

This significant change of chemical neurons among new fathers do not only provide healthy relationship to their children but it also develop the brain structure and social behavior of males. Gone are the days of chauvinist macho shit attitude of a typical male.

4.4 million years ago an early human ancestor named Ardithipecus Ramidus developed a flat canine tooth proving that the aggressive behavior of its other ancestors (primates and apes) was no longer necessary to him. And according to scientists the theory behind this evolution was due to its distinct social behavior where male Ardithipecus are good in child rearing.
