Have you ever thought about why you can’t ignore a crying baby? You probably wanted to help but weren’t sure exactly what to do. A study has found that human brains respond strongly to a baby’s cries. This is true even if we don’t know the child. Human brains have developed to recognize the cries of babies as more important than those of adults. Every grown human has this natural instinct.
