Why are babies so cute? Is there a scientific reason to why they are so darn adorable?

According to evolutionary biology, everyone is hardwired to find the youngest member of our own species adorable. This is so that we will naturally feel inclined to care for, and protect the baby from any potential harm. It helps that all babies are born with cute features such as (taken from: http://www.stuffyoushouldknow.com/blog/babies-cute-explained/): - large head relative to body size, rounded head - large, protruding forehead - large eyes relative to face, eyes below midline of head - rounded, protruding cheeks - rounded body shape - soft, elastic body surfaces

What makes adult sized humans go gaga and coo coo and ooh ooh when they see a little baby? Their adorable cuteness! But are babies really that cute to make people forget how to speak? They are! And it's scientifically proven. We simply love round faces, big eyes, protruding cheeks, big forehead and a round body. Yep, baby features. Anytime you put that together—whether in cars or animals—we like it a little bit more.

Yes!! We love their fat thighs, round bodies, round eyes. If you observe babies are totally round from head to toe. Lol. Even their fingers are round and fat!!! Simply irresistible.
