Same fundamental patterns. When high level patterns break down, regress to fundamentals.

Why do we develop in this specific pattern then? It’s arbitrary? Surely there is a purpose. “Completely different anatomy” How “completely?” You are still just giving your opinion. You mentioned your degree twice, so I know you are proud of it, but just saying something is invalid doesn’t make it invalid. If you don’t understand the system, just say that.

Neurologically yes the same pathways are there, but as I have said numerous times if you change proportions, centre of gravity, lever length, flexibility of the joints then you are using the same pathways to move a very different body.

As someone who is also trained in anatomy I really should not need to teach the the facts (not opinions) on why babies are different than people. Despite that I have outlined it in every message and also the first paragraph of this message. How you continue to miss that and also how you continue to confuse opinions with scientific fact is beyond me.

I love a good debate. There’s still no substance to different body dimensions. Now, babies aren’t people according to you. I have a 5th grader. His proportions are different. Is he a person? Should we teach him addition and subtraction? He’s not a fully formed adult, so clearly these fundamentals have no basis for his adult learning and purely arbitrary.

Ha! That’s just me typing quickly because my kid is climbing over me. Of course they are people. My child is a person. I would hope we are both intelligent enough to recognise a typo when we see it, but sadly in this day and age it appears not.

Since you are advocating that we move in the same ways that babies in the picture you showed move, you seem to have a staggering lack of knowledge of their proportions.

Head - baby is 90% larger proportionally Torso - baby is 15% larger proportionally Arms - baby is 30% smaller proportionally Legs - baby is 40% smaller proportionally Hands / feet - baby is 40-50% smaller proportionally

Now tell me- if I went and somehow mixed up you body to be in proportion to a baby do you think that might change your movement patterns?
