As I sit in a cafe having my ears blasted by a screeching child, I'm thinking

If the human race is so genetically advanced, why aren't babies born with volume controls?

A midwife told me that human hearing is most sensitive at the frequency at which babies cry.

True or not, it certainly makes sense in evolutionary terms.

No but evolution gave us legs so you can get up and walk away

Evolution gave us the ipod so we don't have to listen to the mundane banality of human existence.

Doesn't a baby cry to get attention - ie. needs feeding, cleaning etc - be a bit daft to have a silent cry, don't you think? Z
