"The Meaning of Infancy" by John Fiske is a late 1800s scientific book that studies how infancy deeply matters to human development and evolution by connecting biology and education to understand childhood's influence on humanity. Fiske's study shows how a long infancy helps humans grow and explains why we can advance and build civilizations. He explains how babies needing care creates strong family ties and societies and how a baby's ability to learn lets humans pass on knowledge and morals for generations, making us the peak of evolution.
