Welcome to Grandmothers on the Move! I’m your host, Ilana Landsberg-Lewis, and today I have the great honour to speak with Dr. Kristen Hawkes, the brilliant originator of THE GRANDMOTHER HYPOTHESIS: How grandmothers played a pivotal role in the evolution and very continuation of our species.  What we've always suspected!  Here is a scientific, anthropological and deeply fascinating hypothesis... deeply satisfying too! 

There are two versions of this interview available... this one, a shorter excerpt, which provides an overview of The Grandmother Hypothesis, and another longer episode on my website (episode #30A) that has the full and extended interview - which anthropology, ethnography and evolutionary biology buffs will find worth listening to!
