From the ape's dilemma to the weanling's dilemma: early weaning and its evolutionary context
TL;DR: It is argued here that the authors' unique pattern of prolonged, early brain growth--the neurological basis for human intellectual ability--cannot be sustained much beyond one year by a human mother's milk alone, and thus early weaning, when accompanied by supplementation with more nutritious adult foods, is vital to the ontogeny of their larger brain, despite the associated dangers.
