I’m watching a documentary and noticed how chill great ape babies are. They’re quite content just holding onto their mom, and you never see them crying in the same shrill, oftentimes excessive way human babies do.
Swaddled wrong? Cry. Gassy? Cry. Hungry? Cry. Too full? Throw up, then cry.
What gives?

Humans aren’t supposed to be as plentiful as they are. Crying is an evolutionary measure by which loud babies would attract predators which would eat them and possibly their parents as well, making only the smart silent ones survive. Sadly, with humanities expansion natural predation is a thing of the past, so now we’re stuck with all these loud, obnoxious adults who’ll go on to make more loud obnoxious babies. Bring back the predators!
