Maternal care is essential to survival and young mammals deprived of their mothers often move away from their social group, putting themselves at greater risk. But what happens in the long term? Can this trauma be passed on and affect further generations? Is there something genetic going on? Also coming under the spotlight is a short story by Andrea Levy which raises issues of belonging, class and social responsibility. With Will Eaves and Professor Sophie Scott.
