Join Harvard and UCLA evolutionary biologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and science writer Kathryn Bowers as they trek the world to reveal the planet-wide drama and adventure of adolescence in the wild.

The story is told through the real-life coming-of-age experiences of animal adolescents tracked by scientists around the globe. Upending our understanding of everything from anxiety disorders to risk-taking to the origins of privilege and the nature of sexual coercion and consent, Wildhood is an essential guide to the life skills essential to surviving adolescence and thriving as an adult.
