eli5 How did people survive if babies cried how they do?

Question

Im not sure if the title made sense but how babies cry to communicate, did they do that in the like prehistoricy times. Cause I refuse to believe that people who were surrounded by bears, moose, just aggressive/kill you quick wild life, lived with screaming babies around.

Just talking from experience- my first one spent a lot of time on the ground or in a playpen crying. The second one was Ergo’d (a type of baby carrying contraption for you singles out there) and almost never cried. I’d say they spent a lot of time carrying their babies everywhere back then, which seems to be calming for babies. A held baby is a happy baby.
