Reply to comment by AlternativeBasket in TIL that most non-human primate infants actively use their hands to help themselves out of the birth canal. Human infants do not, but their grip strength is much higher during the hours immediately after they are born. by afeeney

If we developed medical science earlier and perfected cesarians then we could bake longer and be more developed prior to birth

Placentas don't really do well after about 42 weeks (a normal human pregnancy is about 40 weeks), so that would also be an issue that would need to be solved.

Nope. It would be very hard to walk and live in general. Just create artificial womb then.
