In other words, you would expect that the more curious, the more wanderers, the ones who put more things in their mouth would have died out and you would be left with infants more likely to stay in a certain area, less likely to put things in their mouth, and less curious.<br /><br />But the opposite seems to be true? Why? I wonder how even my own child is able to stay alive with this natural inclination - let alone historically, with families having many more children in far more dangerous circumstances.HispanicPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10220166238164432290noreply@blogger.com
