[quote=Anonymous][quote]OKay, the anthropologists and peace corp people are really too much. Yes, I buy it that it takes a village and always has. But the children went with the mothers to gather. C'mon now. Mothers wore babies in slings to bring them. I'd like to see cited articles and research that suggests otherwise, throughout history, as the primary thing.

So anthropologist, I don't believe your story and I don't really believe you are an anthropologist. (love the creds people claim here). But, if you are legit, by all means, link me something.

BTW, I'm a working mom. I just get bothered by made up statistics. [/quote]

Anthropologist here.  Why on earth would you think I'd make up my profession?  It isn't like it is difficult to be an anthropologist - same as any other advanced degree - 4 years of grad school, field work, and a dissertation.  I did my field work in Tanzania, working with the maasai.

In any case, asking me to provide evidence that "it took a village" to raise children is like asking for evidence of evolution.  Humans lived this way for 99% of the time humans walked the earth.  Google is your friend, look it up.

According to your own logic - what would you do if you had a 1 year old and a 3 year old?  Would that woman need 2 slings?
