Why do we find babies from other animal species cute?
In: 50
Finding human babies cute is good for the survival of our species. Other babies, especially of mammals, have similar features, so we find them cute as well.
This doesn’t matter, evolutionarily; finding them cute isn’t bad for us, so the cuteness-finding instinct never got honed down to only apply to human babies. Finding snakes and spiders cute would have been bad though, which is why we frequently find them creepy.
