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?

It’s a semi-well known phenomenon that African babies don’t cry, or cry much less babies in other cultures. Basically, they are highly highly attended to, and only cry if something is actually very wrong.
