Why do we find babies from other animal species cute?
In: 50
Humans especially, but also most mammals, are born with disproportionately large eyes and heads, with small, frail bodies.
If we didn’t have such a strong instance to protect and take care of our young we might not, they’re loud and smelly and take all your resources after all, so the urge to protect them has to be really strong or our species wouldn’t have survived. Because it’s so strong we get the urge to protect things that look like our babies, even though they aren’t, which brings us back to the big eyes etc.
