Nope, puppies are walking within the first month of their life, a stage where human babies have barely any voluntary limb control and no apparent desire to move

Nope, puppies are walking within the first month of their life, a stage where human babies have barely any voluntary limb control and no apparent desire to move.
The puppies are benefitting from a different type of "learning" process of course, in having genetic instincts tuned by many generations of ancestors who had good enough genetic wiring of motor capabilities and instincts sufficiently well attuned to their environments to survive. Humans have weaker priors and reach physical and mental maturity much more slowly but ultimately achieve greater mastery of their environment by learning it from first principles or communication with other humans
(there may be a tradeoff, and of course humans are so good at protecting their young over years of infancy the early instincts aren't that important to retain)
