People are always banging on about how evolution has operated to protect
humans from predators, but it has always struck me as a somewhat lazy

If avoiding bloodthirsty predators was so important to the survival of
the human race, why hasn't natural selection eliminated the gene(s) that
cause children to make a lot of noise? :)
