babies are extremely good however i have noticed that babies are extremely vulnerable to predation and disease. suggest one improvement to babies but you must also add a weakness so as to not "mary sue" them and rend adorable babies into hateful overachievers.

strength: chimpanzee like muscle power
weakness: complete lack of grip reflex, DO NOT DROP your strong baby

I could easily destroy a baby in one on one combat. It wouldn’t even be close. Just one punch is all it would take.

Why would you want babies to be stronger, it's not like one of them has ever made a good decision

I would make it so that babies are just born into a later stage in life so they can already move around and eat on their own from day 1 like how it is with most other mammals. Kids can be fun and cute but babies are 100% worthless

As a trade off their new weakness will be that they only have 2 fingers on each hand, the rest grow in at puberty

Just birth out an adult, but like a small adult that gets bigger. Let the roly polys dream and let the monkies climb to get that fruit. Then like the monkies can sort of walk on their hands when their chin is fused to their sternum and their body moves with their head and they’re always looking at their womb except when they eat mushrooms off the ground when the look up and back.

Babies are basically made out of jello until their bones fused so you'll just tire yourself out trying to defeat one with strikes

Babies kicking in the womb is them secretly practicing their ancestor's karate techniques that allowed their bloodlines to be extended this far in time, giving them an edge over others.

Also we are like the only animal where birth is more often than not outright disastrous and agonizing, you'd think nature would build in some painkillers for us :shrug:

have to come out basically like a fetus until they're grown enough to walk, because the human head is so loving huge if they came out any later it would kill the poo poo out of the mother every time

Baby upgrade: lay an egg and the baby will hatch as a toddler at LEAST. Easy shipping to wherever babies are needed most.

Baby drawback: oh no where did I leave my baby *rifles thru drawers and cabinets* gently caress this is worse than my keys or remote

LOS ANGELES - A surprising new study released Monday by UCLA's Institute For Child Development revealed that human babies, long thought by psychologists to be highly inquisitive and adaptable, are actually extraordinarily stupid.

The study, an 18-month battery of intelligence tests administered to over 3,500 babies, concluded categorically that babies are "so stupid, it's not even funny."

According to Institute president Molly Bentley, in an effort to determine infant survival instincts when attacked, the babies were prodded in an aggressive manner with a broken broom handle. Over 90 percent of them, when poked, failed to make even rudimentary attempts to defend themselves. The remaining 10 percent responded by vacating their bowels.

“It is unlikely that the presence of the babies' fecal matter, however foul-smelling, would have a measurable defensive effect against an attacker in a real-world situation," Bentley said.

Another test, in which the infants were placed on a mound of dirt outdoors during a torrential downpour, produced similarly bleak results.

"The chicken, dog and even worm babies that we submitted to the test as a control group all had enough sense to come in from the rain or, at least, seek shelter under a leafy clump of vegetation or outcropping of rock," test supervisor Thomas Howell said. "The human babies, on the other hand, could not grasp even this incredibly basic concept, instead merely lying on the ground and making gurgling noises."

According to Howell, almost 60 percent of the infants tested in this manner eventually drowned.

Some of the babies tested were actually so stupid that they choked to death on pieces of Micronaut space toys. Others, unable to use such primitive instruments as can openers and spoons due to insufficient motor skills, simply starved to death, despite being surrounded by cabinets full of nutritious, life-giving Gerber-brand baby-food products.

Babies, the study concluded, are also too stupid to do the following: avoid getting their heads trapped in automatic car windows; use ice to alleviate the pain of burn injuries resulting from touching an open flame; master the skills required for scuba diving; and use a safety ladder to reach a window to escape from a room filled with cyanide gas.

"As a mother of four, I find these results very disheartening," Bentley told reporters. "I can honestly say that the effort I have expended trying to raise my children into intelligent beings may have been entirely wasted, a fool's dream, if you will."

Study results also prompted a strong reaction from President Clinton. "All of us, on some primitive, mammalian level, feel a great sense of pride in our offspring," Clinton said. "It is now clear, however, that these feelings are unfounded. Given the overwhelming evidence of their profound stupidity, we have no choice but to replace our existing infant population with artificially incubated simu-drones, with the eventual goal of phasing out the shamefully stupid human baby forever."

it’s because of our giant brains and huge noggins

modern homo-sapiens have large round crinkly brains and big heads to contain them, yet were able to outbreed our close evolutionary cousins, by popping out lots of helpless squishy head babies. squishy heads fit out of a hoo-ha easier; baby heads min-max brain bigness to head squish-ness stats by taking the “unable to do anything but scream and eat for a long while but our brains are big” perk

Neanderthals had a rich culture on par with ours at the time. They also invented the first synthetic compound: pitch.

Had lower dexterity tho

Babies could have turtle shells they shed as they grow up, pretty big speed penalty tho but you get a cute door stop you just gotta change the diap
