Isn't it interesting how to this day we still teach our offspring monkey skills?

You will be aware of the association between childhood motor and cognitive development, right ? I'm including a copy of a section of an article to give you a bit of insight on the topic:
[quote]Some of the diagnoses found in children entering physical therapy at various ages may include: Developmental Delay, various genetic syndromes, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, Developmental Coordination Disorder, Sensory Integration Disorder, and a host of others. A variety of developmental skills deficient in these disorders are addressed by physical therapy to enable the child to function on a level more comparable to his or her peers with regard to gross motor function and mobility, enhancing cognitive development. For example, motor skills in the prone position are addressed. If the child is unable to roll over and function in prone, skills such as eye convergence or fine motor skills that begin with weight bearing through the hands may not develop properly. Inadequate prone skills can also be related to speech or feeding issues, because the orofacial muscles are not strengthened and are underdeveloped. If the child can develop postural skills for sitting, this brings with it greater visual awareness and a perspective of the world, as well as interaction with others. Crawling works on bilateral coordination and the ability to explore the environment, and also works on postural tone that can help with fine motor skills needed for activities such as writing. Walking, running, and advanced skills such as jumping jacks, throwing and catching a ball, all improve body awareness and proprioception, fostering visual perceptual skills that are used in activities such as reading. Being able to slide, jump, and swing works on vestibular development and visual following, aiding in social and emotional development and interaction with peers, such as when playing at recess, or visual/perceptual abilities that aide in fine motor skills such as writing.
