Human infants are born relatively helpless compared to other species due to their large brain size, which requires a longer gestation period. This extended period of development allows for complex brain maturation, essential for higher cognitive functions. Additionally, the human anatomy and social structures have evolved to support prolonged caregiving, enabling infants to rely on adults for nourishment, protection, and learning during their vulnerable early years.
