Why is it that humans are attracted to babies and baby animals?
I heard from someone that is printed on our brains to attract animals with relatively large eyes, because they seem vulnerable and need protection. Is it true that we are only connected to protect infants as an evolutionary thing, or are there other theories? Obviously, it is important we feel we need to protect our youth, but why do we feel so attracted to kittens and puppies?
Your information is correct. The ethologist Konrad Lorenz argued in 1949 that has the breeding child triggered responses in adults and that this was an evolutionary adaptation that helped ensure that adults who care for their children, ultimately, to ensure survival of the species. As evidence, Lorenz noted that humans react more positively to animals that resemble children with big eyes, big heads, shortened noses, etc. – such as pandas or koalas, that animals do not. It is also useful for preventing other species from attacking your children, as many carnivorous not recognized as a non-fatal dog. Has also been argued as a starting point to the domestication of dogs and cats, not for their usefulness in hunting, but for cuteness "for puppies. You can check the original concept (" mono Konrad) and neoteny and Pedomorphosis.
