Seriously, how come baby animals like little kittens and puppies and rhinoceroses are far more capable of not instantly being helpless and dying like stupid babies? A baby cat at like two weeks old can feed itself, walk around, know where to go to the bathroom, and have a fight or flight instinct about danger. A little kid up to like 1 year old at least is completely helpless at anything and will actively try and hurt itself if given the chance. Then at like age 2/3 we begin to lap them but whatever.

because it was an unnecessary path of evolution for us. those with genes for dumb babies still survived because of the brains of our parents were, relative to the average other-animal, highly developed. im sure someone answered this already but I cant read this lame rear end thread OP

Human babies are loving awful. And everyone gets so mad when I say they suck and everyone is like they're cute oh my baby is so smart she can touch a block. your baby is like every other human baby lovely. Also I'm more edge than any baby

because generally we don't need to do as much development in the womb as other animals as we are intelligent social mammals we can take care of our young much easier than say a gazelle that has to basically drop a baby that is ready to run from lions immediately so we never had the evolutionary impetus to get the fast reproduction + babies becoming more highly developed before they are actually born traits.

Seems like we could easily fit in some instincts with that space for those early years.

Because of the evolution into being primarily bipedal the opening in the hip bone of Homo Sapiens is too small so human babies can't have fully formed skulls/brains and make it through. This means more development has to happen outside of the mother.

Maybe being helpless contributes to bonding in social structures or so gay poo poo like that

if the instincts are strong then they control the lives of the creature. when the instincts are weak it leaves it open to learning and input just my 2 centss

have you considered that maybe animals generally are a lot smarter than humans and just too chill and smart to get jobs or invent television

babys in the US will be "smartest" first, if smart means being able to flee from death fast and eat garbage to survive, which is basically the smarts baby animals have. everyone else will stll have slow first world babies, no fear of death as a newborn and actual food.
