More useless but interesting information

Just a note on the larynx point you made Jackie -
the speach thing and choking is because at the age of about 18months to 2 years
the human larynx drops about an inch and a half to two inches allowing the
development of speach and also allowing us to choke. This does not drop
in monkeys (chimps etc etc) That is why they can't talk and we can.
Therefore, speach becomes more understandable
at the age of 18months to 2 years and the voice becomes clearer.
Have you noticed that at about 18months the words suddenly become clearer
and the voice changes? - prior to this drop in position it is harder
for an infant to vocalise with words and very hard to choke (not impossible but
unlikely.)
Also, a newborn also does not breath through
the mouth this is to prevent aspiration of milk when learning to feed.
Babies breath through their nose until at least a week old often older before
they "learn" or are able to breath through their mouth. (That is what we
were taught)
