Human babies have unusually large heads because humans have unusually
large brains. Their heads are round because their brains continue to
grow throughout the first months of life, and the plates of the skull
stay flexible and unfused to accommodate the development. Baby eyes
and ears are situated comparatively far down the face and skull, and
only later migrate upward in proportion to the development of bones in
the cheek and jaw areas.
