Description: Conflict occurs in even the happiest of households, and in this intelligent, persuasively argued study, Dr. Robin Baker and Elizabeth Oram reveal the inexorable, evolutionary origins of behaviors that can lead to family strife. With a series of instantly recognizable scenarios, they demonstrate how infidelity, postnatal depression, sibling rivalry, and other sources of familial discord can be understood by identifying their genetic roots. Highly provocative and thoroughly compelling, Baby Wars sheds light on the biological "conflicts of interest" that lead to discord in every family with children, and shows how these conflicts are not only normal but inevitable.
