Why do human babies cry so much as opposed to chimpanzee or gorilla babies?

547 views

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?

I’ve seen parents of monkeys slap the shit or straight leave a crying baby. Crying is a sure way to put the entire tribe in danger. Baby animals learn quickly to shut up.
