...Grandparents: The Storytellers Who Bind Us
This preference for grandparents may be tied to the anthropological concept of “al- ternate generations.” Parents may be more likely to pass on the practical skills of using a machete or avoiding a jaguar, while their own parents pass on the big picture of how a community understands the world and it- self.
