ok, b4 u answer think about this
babies....they are precious need to be taken care of
need nutrients, and need to be treated gently. they need to be warm out of the cold etc. etc. anyway it takes a lot of caring because they are so fragile. NOW HERES THE QUESTION
how the hell did cave men survive? dont you think they would treat the babies ruff or not feed them right maybe try to feed them adult food, smack em wit a club if they didnt stop crying. basically i am saying they didnt know $hit bout taking care of one. and dont give me that maternal instincs crap. SOme yes but i would think that the harsh elements would of claimed them or the predators or disease. HOW DID THEY DO IT?????? well however they did it im glad, cause now im here.

You might not want to hear it, but it was definitely natural instinct. Like every other primate, they just know how to care for their young. As far as the elements were concerned, that is all part of evolution. We are a lot "softer" today than we were in the beginning. Our ancestors bodies were adapted to their climate; hairier, thicker bones, larger air passages to heat the body... Basically, they were made for their place in time. But even though they were our ancestors, they were still more primal. They had the innate ability to survive, like all animals.

Okay, you say:
"basically i am saying they didnt know $hit bout taking care of one. and dont give me that maternal instincs crap. SOme yes but i would think that the harsh elements would of claimed them or the predators or disease. HOW DID THEY DO IT?????? well however they did it im glad, cause now im here. "
What makes you think that technologically primitive humans ("cavemen") were sociologically primitive?
Even rats are good parents. What is so mystifying about primitive humans being good parents?
Nothing. Animals (including two-legged, hairless apes) are driven to care for their offspring. this is not "crap", this is basic biology. And unless you can comprehend this, I pray to God you never have children.

you are a fool
look at animals how they take care of their young
like a bear or a tiger ,or an elephant ,all have an instinct and a skill to take care of their young gently and protective ,a cave man would be no different
or did you think that before people could read dr Spock ,they did not know how to treat their young
this is one of the oldest human archievements, raising their young ,as with everything else in Nature.
if anything people today know less about taking care of kids then ever before ,because many grow up in isolation ,where as before it was more of a tribal thing
with many experienced grannies around.
and you are still a fool,for not being able to figure that out

YOu're taking a baby of today and putting it into the caveman days. Look at Gorilla babies, and how they survive int eh wild, which mostlikely is not far from the cavemen.

I think it is instinct...it's instictive to take care of your own.
Gorillas don't kill their young, wild dogs don't kill their pups
