ELI5: How did we survive so long as hunter-gatherers, sharing the elements with other predators, when human babies are so loud?

Hunter gatherers wouldn't generally take their babies around with them while they were hunting and gathering.

Humans are *tribal*, so we stick together. Babies would be left with whoever was back at whatever base/town/village was set up. Generally, earlier people would go somewhere, settle for a while, use up resources and often move on.

It is also a good idea to note that *how* we interact with babies is very different. Now, we actually put children down and let them entertain themselves. Long ago, a baby would be held almost all the time. They would naturally be a little more quiet.
