What if nearly everything we believe about fathers is wrong?
Evolutionary anthropologist Anna Machin says a father’s role goes far beyond the cultural myths we’ve been fed for generations.
On this episode of The InnerView, Imran Garda sits down in Istanbul with the author of The Life of Dad and Why We Love to explore why society has underestimated fathers for so long. They discuss whether the love between a parent and child can be powerful enough to end a war, and how technology is changing the way we connect with one another.
