“We’re Asking Fathers to Do the Impossible” with Dr Anna Machin

We are joined by Dr Anna Machin - evolutionary anthropologist, author and one of the leading voices on modern fatherhood. Anna’s work explores the biology, anthropology and emotional realities of being a dad, and how men’s brains, hormones and identities change when they become fathers. We often call her the godmother of dads - because few people have done more to understand, advocate for and humanise the role of fathers in the modern world. Anna is currently writing her next book on fatherhood, and in this conversation we explore what science and evolution can teach us about the essential role of dads today.
