Books
	Kids: How Biology and Culture Shape the Way We Raise Young Children I'm sitting on a tiny blue plastic chair with my knees wedged under a very short table. My hands rest on my lap to stop any fidgeting while I wait for the midmorning snack of crackers, juice, and vanilla yogurt.
	Our Babies, Ourselves: How Biology and Culture Shape the Way We Parent Several years ago, The American Museum of Natural History in New York City sponsored a special exhibit of human ancestors. Their goal was to bring to the public a four-million-year record of original human fossils.
