That drawing is really something. I presume it’s meant to be weird but I’m curious what the book is about

Yes, combined with the effects of bipedalism on the pelvis, human brain size results in relatively underdeveloped newborns and difficult births. You’d think it would be a huge disadvantage, but it tends to mean that during infancy and childhood we get to install a lot more things as software rather than built-in hardware. So we are more adaptable to the environment in which we are born and more able to use culture as our signature adaptation. Then we produce great works of art like this one!

I’d bet that the drawer (sorry, I can’t say artist about this) is a christian fundamentalist who claims that blastocysts and, later, fetuses are babies?
When they’re that off, it’s not “bad,” it’s a deliberately perverse choice. Or a result of extreme cognitive dysfunction. Or, I suppose, both.
Which is impressive considering I’m sure it was an attempt to be creepy…

Looking at the length of mommy’s arms, it would appear that she’s mostly great ape.

I guess Chris couldn’t find a properly configured baby photo to trace over.
Mommy’s toes also seem to be a bit off.

I heard on the CBC last summer a program explaining that actually it was a woman’s metabolism that prevented humans from gestating any longer.

It’s hard to keep track of how many fingers a person is supposed to have. If only there were something to remind the artist…something handy…

No, what you have here is a policewoman on maternity leave. The little-un is working undercover. This is how police officers are created.
