 Why can't babies walk at birth?


  Do you know why human babies can't walk at birth and need to understand what the actual behind it. Let's see...

  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 isn't developed enough at the birth, while the brains of elephants and horses are.

  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 complete length of their feet which makes walking a skill. Hence, it requires more coordination and brain power, leading to longer for us to start walking.
