We All Learn to Crawl: Dan

It's interesting this crawling. I've observed a couple things. You can tell from the video that his arm movements are already programmed into the part of the brain where he does it automatically, where his legs aren't there yet. He needs to do it a few dozen more times before he can do it without thinking about it. The other thing is his desire to crawl comes from his instinct to explore the world around him. He sees something and wants to know all about it by touching it and tasting it. Without that desire he would basically be a house plant. Says something about human nature I think. It's like the space program, which came out of a desire to go to the moon for no other reason than touch it really.
