Abstract
Compared with many species in the animal kingdom, human beings arrive into the world rather ill-equipped to face its demands and requirements. It has been observed that evolution has endowed us with a large brain—with great potential. However, we have to “pay a price” for this gift. The price is the long period of dependence, following birth, during which we have to acquire the necessary skills for coping with the human, social, physical realities which we encounter. This period of dependence involves caretakers, parents and supplementary parents, who protect, guide, and teach the developing human being; they gradually aid in the development of independence and adult status in the community and society.
