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.

Someone said that human noise is more likely to scare an animal away, and that’s true. The thing to remember also is that most animals have a powerful sense of smell. A bear can smell food sources a mile away. So if they hunted you (most dont hunt humans), your scent would give you away faster than your sound.
