The content explores the important roles that children played in prehistoric times, beyond simply growing and feeding until adulthood. It highlights how young individuals, due to their distinct skeletal and bodily structures, were able to perform tasks that adults could not.
One example provided is that of young pterosaurs, who could live in forest environments and be partially arboreal due to their small size, unlike the larger adult pterosaurs. Another example is the potential role of young tyrannosaurids as "beaters" to aid in hunting, leveraging their agility while the adults waited for prey or were only capable of short bursts of speed due to their massive build. The author suggests that this type of intergenerational cooperation may have also been true for early humans.
The content emphasizes that children in prehistoric times did not merely grow or feed until adulthood, but rather played specific roles that enabled populations to survive. Their unique physical attributes allowed them to contribute to the overall survival and success of their communities.
