Sinopse

One of the greatest advances in neuroscience is the discovery that babies are much more than a genetic load. The development of all human beings lies in the combination of genetics with the quality of the relationships we develop and the environment in which we are placed. The Beginning of Life invites everyone to reflect as part of society: are we taking good care of the early years of life, which define both the present and the future of humanity?
