Babies are cute. That's what most of us think. When seeing a baby, there's always this urge within us to hug and squeeze him/her. But why do we do it? Are we hard-wired to like "cute" things? Is this "cute feeling" an entirely human trait? The folks over at the popular YouTube channel
AsapSCIENCE seems to have the answers.
