Dearest  Cuteologists,


Why are baby animals cute ?



Some baby animals being cute literally seconds ago !!




Don't they look so adorable ? do they not make ewe want to go "awwwwwwwwww" ?


why's that then ? What purpose does it serve to make baby animals cute ? I would like to extend that to baby humans, but sometimes I think baby humans are too wrinkly !..when they get older they also look cute.


Which one of the above do ewe think is the cutest ?...


I need to know soon as I am a speaker at a philosophy symposium next Tuesday and I need to look klevur by discussing a klevur topic ..thank ewe .

The radio program seems to be by a Professor of Cute!

I've never understood the cuteness of other species. Even our closest relatives are very hairy, extremely agile, and quite unlike baby humans. And every other mammal is either a competitor, a predator, or bred for prey - why do we like them at all?

A radical suggestion is that humans are not really carnivores, so deep in our psyche is a response that says "don't eat me" when we see a little furry beast with big eyes.

One definition is 'attractive in a pretty or endearing way'......I can't imagine a valid reason for cuteness. Perhaps the answer lies in the radio show.
