The Truth about Cinderella: A Darwinian View of Parental Love by Martin Daly & Margo Wilson (Farsi)

Açıklama

The Truth about Cinderella: A Darwinian View of Parental Love by Martin Daly and Margo Wilson explores the dark side of family life through the lens of evolutionary psychology. The authors reveal that a child is far more likely to be abused or even killed by a stepparent than by a biological parent, a disturbing fact that echoes old fairy tales like Cinderella. They argue that this pattern arises from deep evolutionary motives, as parental care evolved primarily to protect one’s own genetic offspring. By combining scientific research with real-world data, Daly and Wilson explain why step-relationships often involve tension and risk. The book challenges idealized views of family and highlights the biological roots of parental love and conflict.
