Nu-human cattle will slowly evolve to specialize at mindless corporate consumption and you'll have them come out using Twatter and Instagram and performing all other nu-cattle lifestyle functions straight out of the womb in place of learning and general intelligence.

Already have. Human babies are retarded by design. Other animals get smart bbies that are basically functional adults within a day of being born.

I know four-year olds who are more intelligent than the average adult, they just know barely anything. Intelligence doesn't equal knowledge.

Babies evolved to be cute so they don't need to be smart.

>> No.14842485

human babies have heads that are too large so they are born right before they would be too large to push out, which ends up being too immature in comparison to other species. probably ideally humans should be in the womb for another 6 months or so

Strangely the article does not mention the need to learn, that the large CNS takes more time to train than the brain of a bird.

>cute
I don't get this because human babies are fucking abhorrent, not cute.

>> No.14846101

Our brains are way too big for our mothers' hips
And so nature, she devised this alternative:
We emerge half-formed and hope whoever greets us on the other end
Is kind enough to fill us in
And babies, that's pretty much how it's been ever since

there's actually a trend towards them becoming more retarded, right? this happens with all k-selection species
