[quote=Anonymous] For newborns, it's by smell. And I think for all young children, it's the emotion of love and physical tenderness that most mothers display, that are hard to break down in a scientifically objective list of measurable variables. Fathers and grandparents and siblings and nannies can and do display these qualities too, but I think that statistically, mothers display them more consistently, and that this is due to particular brain structure or wiring. Is this brain morphology acquired at birth? Does some of the wiring evolve until motherhood? Does anything change during pregnancy, childbirth or in the post-partum period? A few mothers are not like this. Some fathers are very much like this. Some nannies are like this, and on rare occasions, children prefer the nanny. There are always exceptions. - scientist [/quote]
