when did human mothers become so social they trusted
others to hold their babies?
They trusted midwife/sisters to catch the baby when it
was born, which is holding the baby. So, somebody else
held the baby before the mother did.
The notion of possession and "ownership" and individuality
of the baby implied by the above question is probably an
anachronism from the present projected back upon those
societies which were much more social in consciousness
than ours is. Sociality is the critical and central characteristic
of the human species at its inception. It differentiates us from ancestoral
species.
