About this listen

When both of our children were newborns, both Kim and Leila were told, repeatedly, that they looked just like their dads. Which, to be honest, wasn't always what we wanted to hear. We explore why it might be a good idea to look like your dad, what the science actually says, and how sometimes resemblance is all in the eye of the beholder.

In this episode:

  • We talk about our own babies' features, and how often they were compared to their dads.
  • Why it might be a good idea to look like the father, from an animal evolution perspective
  • Do babies actually look like their dads?
  • The science says its all in our heads
  • Why not looking like dad might be a good idea
  • How dad's investment can change how similar he thinks they are
  • The future of our babies' features
