why human babies are helpless, why babies can't walk at birth, human evolution
A newborn horse can begin standing within hours. Some animals are walking within minutes of birth. Human babies, meanwhile, need months just to learn how to sit, crawl, and eventually walk.
So why are human babies born so unusually helpless?
The answer leads into one of the strangest trade-offs in human evolution, involving our enormous brains, difficult childbirth, the energy demands of pregnancy, our unusually long childhoods, and the way humans evolved to raise children with help from others.
Human babies might look spectacularly unprepared for life, but that helpless beginning may be connected to the very thing that eventually made humans so successful: our ability to learn an extraordinary amount from the people around us.
