I wonder what our ancestors did when they lived in the wird?
A lot of times our new fangled ideas just go against our hardwired nature.
“I wonder what our ancestors did when they lived in the wird?”
They threw away their babies if they displayed “strange” or weak behavior. If they survived (and they were first born males), they were sacrificed to the gods.
Actually, none of those have changed. Babies are aborted if they display retardism or any disability. And they are sacrificed, at ever higher rate, at the alter of feminism and convenience.
Our ancestors were never “in the wild”. Only those that consciously chose to be uncivilized.

Exactly. An infant wailing when it is alone is a protective response to abandonment. We are still wired as we were 20,000 years ago. A child left alone would be picked off by predators.
Baby slept with mommy and daddy otherwise baby ended up as a late night snack for some carnivore.
