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?

Human babies are quite chill if you’re constantly holding onto them. Unlike apes and chimps though a human baby cannot hold onto the momma themselves, so a human baby is way more dependent on momma to pay attention.
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!
as soon as the baby realizes its been born to poor parents [aka NOT a trust fund baby] and then realizes it will someday have to work for a living, it realizes it fukked up picking them as parents.
