Content: We only give people things, because we think this will help us to form allies, or because we hope they will give us something back at some point in the future. Another way that an evolutionary psychologist might look at this though, is as altruism being means through which we can increase the survival of our species as a whole. It may also be necessary in order to facilitate socializing – and we know that there is strength in numbers. Parenthood
Once you have a child though, your work is not yet done. At this point you still need to rear said child and ensure that they grow to become healthy adults so that they can continue to pass on your DNA. That’s why parenthood is such an important aspect of our psychology and it’s why we feel such incredibly strong bonds with our offspring. And this evolution can also explain some other aspects of our psychology. For instance, it describes our tendency to find certain animals ‘cute’. The reason we do is invariably that they have large eyes that give them the appearance of infants. In fact, it’s even possible that the reason cats have large eyes is that they have evolved this way in order to take advantage of our nature.
