Does it explain why people do that? Are you suggesting we intrinsically know that singing to a baby is beneficial for learning?

- gumby 3y agoIf you believe that speech is a survival skill (which I would think most people believe) then anything that increases its prevalence or effectiveness would be evolutionarily selected for, right? We’re talking a 300-500+ Ky period, probably almost 2X that (depending upon the speech capabilities of our hominid ancestors), so plenty of time for evolutionary pressure to apply.
