Why are many wild animals born walking, but humans cannot?

As the overlord of the new generation of biological chains on the earth, human beings have the ability to crush any living thing on the earth with absolute superiority. We are more advanced in terms of body structure and brain.

Because we are the only species of all living beings on earth that can create unnatural things with their brains and hands, such as the earliest stone tools, handicrafts, murals, and now mobile phones, computers, cars, airplanes, etc.;

These things are not natural products, but man-made, and only intelligent species can create them. It stands to reason that our human abilities should crush any lower creature in any growth cycle.

Any mammal cub in nature can crush a human cub, such as a zebra, wildebeest, wildebeest, wildebeest in the wild. Once their pups are on the ground, they can stand and walk with current encouragement, run quickly after acclimatization, follow in their mother's footsteps for food, and learn the skills to avoid predators.

Some mammal cubs, although not able to walk all at once, develop quickly and acquire some basic survival skills in just a few months. Childhood ends at the age of one, and when they reach sexual maturity at the age of two, they begin to start their own families, such as lions and tigers.

But what about human cubs? If you want to become an adult, the growth cycle has reached several decades.

In the case of our close cousin, chimpanzees, although their cubs cannot walk immediately after birth, they already have some mobility. For example, they can crawl with their mom in their arms so that mom can easily carry them through the woods.

Psychologist Kellogg adopted a 7-month-old chimpanzee and raised it with his 10-month-old son. The purpose of this experiment was to understand what kind of changes chimpanzees exhibit under the influence of human social environment, and whether they can acquire superior cognitive abilities like humans.

The experiment lasted nine months before being stopped.

Kellogg and his wife put chimpanzees and their son together for nine months, gave them the same food and education methods, and tested them accordingly;

Including cognitive ability, obedience ability, hand grasping ability, dexterity, judgment ability, learning ability, command comprehension ability, etc. In the first few months, the chimpanzee completely crushed the human cubs and performed well in every way.

However, it wasn't until 6 months later that chimpanzee performance began to be surpassed by human cubs. Chimpanzees have insurmountable bottlenecks and obstacles in learning and cognition, so stop there;

It's not the same with human cubs. As he has grown older, he has completely surpassed chimpanzees in intelligence and mobility and has been surpassing them all the time, also showing a super ability to imitate. Their son often learns the behavior of chimpanzees and even cries.

Because these animals live in the wild, they must be born to walk and hunt in order to survive, and human children are taken care of by their parents after they are born, so they gradually have this sense of dependence.

They survive in the wild and may face predation from predators as soon as they are born, so they can walk and run as soon as they are born, and human groups live in houses and do not face too many dangers.

Because human beings are mammals, each of their growth takes time and is not formed directly, but must be gradualized before it can be perfected.

Why don't humans walk like animals at birth? Are we worse off**?

You see it this way, any animal that lives alone after birth can walk as soon as it is born. Most animals that need to be cared for by their mothers after birth do not know how to walk, or do not walk well.

For example, invertebrates, fish, reptiles, amphibians, etc., as soon as they hatch from the eggs, they have to find food for themselves, they have to take care of themselves, and they must be born to walk or swim. The same goes for certain birds such as chickens, ducks, etc.

Most mammals, on the other hand, need to be cared for by their mothers or parents after birth, and do not need to walk on their own during this period, and do not need to develop the ability to walk when the embryo develops. For example, when a baby mouse is born, not only can it not walk, but it can't even open its eyes. Kittens, puppies, leopards, etc., are also not able to walk when they are born.

Most herbivores must learn to walk a few minutes to tens of minutes after birth, because they have poor self-defense skills and have to run to avoid danger.

One is because they can develop enough maturity in the mother's body. The second is that they live in a harsh environment, and if they can't run fast after birth, they may be preyed upon by carnivores, resulting in the inability to retain the gene. People are born in extremely safe hospitals, and animals are in grasslands or forests.

They are also more muscular than humans!!

This is all the compassion of the Creator, animals do not have more wisdom than human beings with hands and feet, and can easily raise babies in swaddling clothes, so as soon as animals are born, they have to be more sound and mature than babies, and many animals have to support themselves soon after birth.

Because animals are not the same as humans.

Because the brain of human beings at birth is very imperfect and has no ability to control their own movements, while other animals have, there is an essential difference between humans and other animals in the time of motor development, and the result of the balance between the decrease of the pelvis and the increase in brain volume in evolution determines that people will only walk about a year after birth. Compared to other animals, humans are characterized by the fact that bipedal walking requires more advanced neural control, has a larger brain relative to body weight, and has a faster rate of brain growth and development after birth.

While babies have evolved to develop the ability to compress their skulls as they pass through the birth canal, these are still not enough for a mature brain to pass through the birth canal. Therefore, the ultimate solution is to let a baby who does not have a mature brain come out first, and then take a longer period of time after birth to fully mature. The maturation pathway probably involves wrapping neurons with myelin sheaths to better control the muscular system and producing more movement-related synapses.

It takes a year of growth and development to have the ability to walk.

I say. It's because animals only need to imitate, they don't have brains, so it's fast. People have brains, and even if they want to imitate, they have to think through their brains. So slowness does not mean stupidity, on the contrary, it may be a kind of great wisdom. Hehe.

People can also walk soon after birth, they walk on 4 feet, and babies too, but it is more difficult to learn two to walk, so it is necessary to learn later.

Let's start with that. Animals are basically four-legged, OK? Moreover, the average lifespan of animals is shorter than that of humans, and the ratio of lifespan to the time it takes to learn to walk is very short. Moreover, learning to walk upright is the key to evolution, and it is not so easy

Because human beings themselves are aliens who came to the earth and have not fully adapted to the gravity environment of the earth, and other animals belong to the earth species, and they are not as smart as humans.

The gestation period is 22 months for elephants, 18-26 months for lions, and 11-12 months for horses. In other words, animals are basically born after they have matured in their mother's body. So we see elephants, lions, and horses that are born to stand and walk.

The most distinguishing thing that distinguishes humans from other animals is the brain, which has a larger head diameter due to its overdeveloped brain. However, the birth canal of human females is relatively narrow, and the fetus cannot be completely developed in the mother's body, and must be born. Therefore, humans generally do not develop enough to walk upright until about a year after birth.

Animals don't walk, they crawl! Thanks for adopting! Thank you!

Many animals are born to leave, so why don't babies, it turns out that this is the reason.

Why is it that humans are born with nothing and animals are born with running and jumping.

Instinct, genetics, evolution. Some animals will be hunted by eaters if they don't go immediately, so they can only be able to go, otherwise they will be eliminated by nature, and the long-term evolution of man does not need to be like this. Usually there is a mother holding to avoid the enemy.

So no. Because carnivorous chasing grass, it depends on oneself whether the chasing one runs or not, and whether the chased one runs or not depends on the one who chases. Then those who could run ran ran, and most of those who couldn't run were eaten, and those who could chase and couldn't chase survived. In the end, the one who didn't die was the one who was now.

Therefore, carnivores do not stand up and run immediately after birth, while most herbivores do. (In other words, most herbivores have evolved to stand up and run as soon as they are born).

Animals can walk when they are born, so why can't human babies?

The continuation of life is inseparable from reproduction, and both humans and animals have put a lot of effort into taking care of their offspring. Even though we sometimes feel that animals don't seem to have many emotions, it is undeniable that they still care deeply about their offspring. However, have you noticed that the young of animals seem to be much more powerful than babies?

Human babies are born with their eyes closed and can't do anything but scream, but animal cubs are completely different. Horse, cow, giraffe cubs can stand within an hour of birth, and on the first day of life they can hide from predators; The cubs of the monkey can tightly grasp the hair of the female monkey and hang it under the belly of the female monkey, which is a one-stop solution to the safety of food, clothing and clothing; The young of fish, turtles, and whales can swim after birth; Chickens and ducks can run all over the ground after they come out of their shells.

So why can't human babies be born and run like animal cubs? This is because animal cubs are born after they are fully developed in their mother's womb, while human babies are not fully developed at birth, which is equivalent to a "semi-embryonic" state, which is the so-called "premature baby", so human babies cannot be like animal cubs, just born alive and kicky.

So, how long does it take for a human baby to be conceived before it can walk as soon as an animal is born? Zoologists calculate that babies need to be conceived for 18-21 months to reach the maturity of chimpanzee cubs at birth, while the average human gestation is only 9 months, that is, babies from 9 months to one year old are about the same as newborn orangutans. In that case, why don't humans conceive longer and let the babies mature before giving birth to them?

Most animals walk on all fours, while humans walk upright. While walking upright brings us convenience, it also creates a negative side, such as human beings often have to endure back pain and low back pain. In addition, walking upright narrows a woman's buttocks and with it, the birth canal.

However, the skulls of human fetuses are relatively large, and it is almost impossible to wait until they are fully developed and regenerated, so in order to better reproduce offspring, "natural selection" makes humans need to be "born prematurely".

Although humans cannot rely on the time of pregnancy to mature a baby, they can rely on nurturing to allow the baby to continue to develop. Although early babies are not mature enough and are always drowsy every day, they have a safe enough environment to grow slowly. But animals are different, nature's predators do not give animal cubs time to develop slowly, so they must learn and grow quickly, otherwise there is only one fate waiting for them, and that is death.

Because human beings have a relatively long stage of growth. Humans cannot develop into a state of walking in the womb of their mothers, so they can only be born early and learn these skills after they have grown up in the outside world.

People walk on two legs, and animals are four-legged, if you let a child who is just a month old to climb, he will also crawl very fast Finally, it will take more than ten days for a puppy to be born to walk Only wild animals will walk soon after birth, because it is determined by the harsh living conditions in the wild, if you learn to walk in a year like a person, it will be eaten up by the beast, and the cubs of the beast will be preyed on by other beasts.

Because animals walk on four legs, and our human babies need two legs, of course, it will be much more difficult, and human babies also learn to crawl first and then learn to walk.

This is the result of countless years of evolution, in order to survive, not only some small animals are born to walk, but they also have to run in less than five minutes to keep up with the population, otherwise they will be eaten by predators.

This is a natural law, and the result of animal evolution is that in order to survive, they must be born to be able to walk in order to catch up with their companions, and to survive.

A lot ......Kittens, puppies, and hamsters can only crawl at first.

Only people still have legless things.
