It’s exactly BECAUSE we’re so smart that we’re so helpless as babies. If our brains developed as much before we were born as other mammals do then mothers surviving childbirth wouldn’t be a thing do to how big babies heads would be. In order for our mothers to survive giving birth most of our brain development has to occur after we’re born. That’s as opposed to most mammals whose brains are mostly developed before they’re born.
