Meh, my older boy walked at exactly 9 months. It was July 4th — his Independence Day and the end of mine as I could no longer contain him!

But they can swim with no problems. Another thing in favor of so called Aquatic Ape Hypothesis.

They’d probably reference Ben Stein, then make some demeaning comment about the rest of the world.

There is an assumption made by this anthropologists, and that is that bigger brains are the result of selective pressure for the ability to acquire resources, problem solve and negotiate social relationships. However, parrots and crows show remarkable ability to problem solve. As do chimpanzees and baboons, who show problem solving skills beyond those of human children of the same age. yet these animals have not demonstrated a selective pressure toward bigger brains. Thus, it must be the case that human brain size is the result of another form of selective pressure.
