I’m even more curious how the sensibilities of various periods meshed with the terrible twos etc.

According to the article, you put them in a little wooden cart so they don't fall out the window. Try to keep them from falling into boiling water, and then after they turn 3, you put them in charge of babysitting the new baby.

There's a book called "Parenting for Primates" or something like that where a scientist compares how humans care for their babies vs how various monkeys and apes do, it's pretty fascinating.
