One anthropologist found 1,072 similar words for 'mom' and 'dad' in the world's languages. It turns out a mix of biology, culture and encouragement from parents explains this phenomenon.

A new book breaks down how fatherhood has evolved, what it looks like today, and where it's headed in the future.

Male chimpanzees don't know who their fathers are. But they like to bond and hang out with them anyway.
