- Summary
- "In a mix of in-depth research and personal anecdotes, the author of A Natural History of Parenting presents facts and reflections on how food affects the lives of every creature, from forest animal to dining room gourmet." "Chronicling habits of collecting, storing, and consuming food, in parts of the world as different as the Arctic and her own wooded backyard, Allport untangles the links of the food chain, explains how animals learn which plants and animals are safe to eat, and probes connections between food sharing and human evolution, and between food and reproduction. Along the way she examines the habits of chimpanzees, howler monkeys, hummingbirds, and koalas, among a host of other mammals, insects, and birds."--Jacket.
