Why do human babies cry so much?

Wouldn’t there be significant evolutionary pressure for selection of silent babies, or at least ones that aren’t as loud?

babies cry when something is wrong.
So the reason modern babies are crying is because modern parents are terrible at being parents compared to wild humans.
Wild humans mothers will be with the child 24/7, just see chimps.
But modern women want to party and work so they leave their children alone crying.
in essence they are worse parents.

Most babies cry a lot from puppies to birds, the only difference with humans is we mature so much slower we cry for a year while most animals cry for a few weeks.

human babies have to be ejected prematurely, otherwise there would be even more pregnancy deaths. This leads to them being very helpless and incompetent at life for at least a few months, so a way for them to communicate when they need something increases survival rates. The fact that humans live in groups diminishes dangers from predators, because there is extra protection around.
This protection is effective enough to offset the cost of noise in favor of a slightly better survival rate due to communication.

Chimpanzees and lots of other animals are loud too. A way to signal that this is your territory. Also babies cry and scream to varying degrees with East Asian babies being the most silent ones.

Nobody cares about you're stupid news story that some Republican newspaper is promoting in order to make black people look bad. If you don't want to see black crime, then end white racism and black crime won't be a problem anymore. These people are just responding to racism and oppression in their environment. You on the other hand, were just born a racist looser. Now please go back to pol, where you and all your schizo white trash friends are free to talk about muh SJWs and muh COVID vaccines all you want.

Woah, dude, what the fuck? Did you just assume they were talking about the person on the right? Just because they say “he/him/his” doesn’t mean the person with the beard is who they’re referring to. Don’t assume genders. Women can have beards too. Maybe the person on the left is the killer they’re referring to.

Imagine actually thinking black people are murdering each other in the streets because they experienced racism.

Imagine infantilizing an entire race of people and reducing their agency and free will to that of reaction to another race's behavior.

Couldnt be seeing as absence of evolutionary pressure? Like crying doesnt attract anymore a jaguar/mountain lion/randome killer hence it stops being a filtering factor hence there start being kids with that characteristic? Just like illneses today, since they dont kill us anymore cuz medicine they are not filtered from the gene pool in any way hence they spread as a characteristic in the population

Babies have a surprisingly high variety of needs yet are very limited in their methods for communicating these needs, so they communicate the only way they can: cry. To a stranger it all sounds the same but as a parent you quickly get a good feeling and intuition for what they might be crying about, and so can comfort them reasonably quickly. Once the child learns to start talking or vocalising other basic sounds or using gestures, the incidence of crying reduces and is replaced by more advanced communication.

The same reason why women are much more likely to orgasm when they’re being raped by a stranger than with their husband. Babies cry to alert nearby predators such as lions or wolves which their father must fend off. If he can’t fight them off he is a beta and his genetic lineage should go extinct for the good of the species as a whole. Mother Nature has built in mechanisms to prevent dysgenics, targeting betas in particular at every turn. So just know when your baby cries it means it senses you are a beta and is screaming for an animal to come and kill you before being eaten itself. Punish it accordingly to assert dominance. Remember it’s treachery.

Cats do it too. Meowing is essentially crying for kittens. They're not supposed to do it as adults. Birds also have that specific baby chirping. All animals do it. I don't understand what's the fuss, it's such an obvious thing to do. If the baby is hungry and can't get food, it's gotta tell someone.

the baby is crying for a proper neurological, physiological and psychological development i.e. his parents care. feed him your milk you saggy tits egotistical modern bitch, teach your baby, play with your baby, hug your baby.

If humans were solitary survivalists, sure. That's how it works for those types. Herd animals, on the other hand, are much louder and have different survival strategies.

Put the modern woman in the wild with her child, and, even if you taught her every single technique to survive and hunt and she mastered them, the baby would still die.
