Your comment saddens me Jim. Seriosuly tho, it kinda makes you think...we're supposed to be the most "evolved" of all species on the planet, no? Sure sure some small frogs in South American jungles can hide in trees and have venomus spit but humans built minimalls and . So why are we the slowest of all "animals" to grow to full adulthood? Shouldn't we jump out of the womb and be able to do physics by this point? also, we are the only species that allows their young back into the "nest" after leaving

I think it has to do with us being so much more brain oriented then most any other living creature. We spend an enormous amount of time developing cognitive abilities and having our minds develop, meanwhile our physical selves sort of take a backseat to that I guess.
Its those same abilities to think that also enable the whole "return to the nest thing". We dont operate on a purely survival based mode of existance. We have the luxury of being able to focus on activities other then survival and propagation of the species. If other animals allowed young to return, it would severely hamper their ability to continue creating more young, and the species as a whole would be in trouble.

Yeah, but think about a simple thing like walking. Deer or horses can do it in a matter of hours, and in a few days they have premature levels of mastery. Humans take years to develop the proper body movements for walking.
Could this have to do with having two legs rather than four?

I dont think number of legs alone is the answer. Look at ostriches. They have two legs and are up and about before you know it. Its just evolutionary man. If deer dont learn to walk fast, they die, simple as that. Theres too much out there looking to kill and eat a helpless deer. Humans dont suffer from this so we grow differently to allow our brain development to take precedence over the need to flee. Even animals that are almost human develop much faster. Chimps are our closest relative in the animal kingdom (nearly 99% similar DNA) and while they take a while to fully mature, they still develop far faster then humans (From birth they are capable of holding on to mom for dear life and spend the first 5 months attached to her. They learn to walk around 6 months, become independant from their mothers at around 4-6 years and are considered adults between 13 and 16 years). We may take longer, but its worth it. That extra time cooking the brain means we get planes, and art, and computers, and rock music, and all that good stuff. Chimps, however, have to sit around and settle for throwing poop as their prime source of amusement.

Humans are born at a way earlier developmental stage than most other animals. For most animals, they develop inside their mothers until they reach pretty much adult proportions, and then they grow without changing proportions. We're born at what would be a fetal stage for animals like horses. Parental care is so much better in humans that it doesn't much matter.

Why induct early? Is it just to get it over with at a specific time so you are prepared, or is there a medical reason for it?
