Mother’s Milk: Debunking Myths, Exploring Evolution & Updating Medicine

Speaker: Dr. Katie Hinde, Associate Professor, Center for Evolution & Medicine, School of Human Evolution & Social Change, Arizona State University

Event Description: Did you know mother’s milk is older than dinosaurs? Or that the “biological recipe” of milk differs for sons and daughters? Mother’s milk is food, medicine, and message that organizes a baby’s brain, body, and behavior. What we take for granted in the grocery store dairy aisle has been shaped by hundreds of millions of years of natural selection. As we better unlock the mysteries of milk, we gain essential new tools for human health and well-being.
