Why Babies Can't Walk At Birth?


Do you know why human babies can't walk at birth and want to know what the reason behind it, them keeping reading till the end to know it, 


Let's know, 


New born elephants or horses walk shortly after birth, while human babies need almost a year or more than that. This happens because the human brain is not developed enough at the birth, while the brains of elephants and horses are.


The human babies starting walking, once the brain develops over a year. Human brain isn't enough developed at birth because, if that happened, the brain would be larger in size, requiring the larger skull, thus, making childbirth more difficult. 


The animals like elephants and horses walk only on their toes. However, humans use both the heels and toes to walk. Which means they use the full length of their feet which makes walking a complex skill. Hence, it requires more coordination and brain power, resulting in more time for us to walk.
