Curious as to how babies have such a strong grip on things they get their hands on even at such a young age
In: Biology
Babies lack fine motor control. Their little muscles are basically firing in an in all or nothing state, so when it comes time to grab they grip with everything they have. This is super helpful because other ape babies need to be able to hold onto mom as she swings from trees. Put a little one on some monkey bars and be amazed at how long they’ll hold for how tiny and helpless they are usually.
