Why are baby humans so useless?

It takes a long time for the human brain to develop fully.
And of course some never do.
The ones that never do are often found on SW. 🙄

I’d argue that some humans are still useless well after 40 years.

They're not, they are cute and funny.

Philosophers in ancient Greece saw this as evidence that humans must not always have been in the form they currently are in, or else the race would not have survived.

It was a crude early theory of Evolution.

True but in first grade kids can read. I don't think I've ever seen a giraffe read

Same reason why giving birth is such hell for humans. Giant brains. It takes a while.

They're super cute and cuddly.

It has something to do with evolution… a baby giraffe would be lion food if it didn’t move within a short time of being born.. well that’s my theory anyway…

Human beings have much greater potential than animals so they have a longer infancy and childhood

They spend their time learning other things like language. And other things like appropriate behaviors. Things that require some type of judgement. As limited as that may seem.

Which is more helpful when someone else takes care of your needs?

Humanity was meant to take care of needs of the young so they can learn other things.

Show the animal that can even do baby talk?

Sometimes it can be mimicked in animals. Yet it takes just as long and without really understanding what it's saying. It's too busy doing things to survive.

because i said so

Exactly

Babies are born with the ability to love unconditionally sadly we seem to outgrow that ability.When i walk into a room and the baby recognizes me and smiles nothing else compares to that feeling

@LosSantosNPC in the animal kingdom it is all a case of survival as there are predators around who will not stop too see you as a meal so you need too be on your game fasters than human babies

Some humans are useless for the first 70 years of their lives so we’re good if babies only remain useless for 2 years nowadays lol

Because we are alien/primate hybrids. We do not truly belong on this planet.

Depends on how you use them. I know s8ngle dads who use them as the ultimate wingman

Baby humans take forever to get their operating system booted up! 🙄

Most most of us in the wild and we'll still be useless

Baby humans don't have to worry about predators

It makes us better caring for and training them.

We gotta build up that big brain energy

Because mammals

What about puppies?

Humans suck boobs - nuff said 8-)

Baby humans are pure love.

I’m 30 but I’m useless. 😟

Then don't have one

They're adorable

I'm thinking about the all the adults seen looting. Those are effing parasites of society.

it takes a lot longer for us to become functional because of our advanced brains. It takes a lot of energy to form it and teach it.

It's because we walk upright.

Deep

That's the price we pay for having such huge brains. It takes longer for them to develop.

Some are useless way longer look at biden

Bipedal movement is a huge part of it. We aren't really well designed for it. We're designed enough for it though to make four legged movement difficult. So we're dependent for complete support from our family and tribe unit. The other factor is our increased brain function has a lot to structure. We also live a pretty long natural life for a mammal. Not the longest but it is a good one.
