Too bad or not two bad

I don't work from a script so typically when i do one of these, hashings, rehashing, trashing, something get shaken loose and a new idea pops up. Well it's worked again so to bad most won't follo the dialog. Can't put it out yet though, it's still burning in the oven, to paraphrase Henry Miller.

So, to focus on some part of the previous.

Dependence is a style of reproduction.
Does that need more example? Look up infancy.
Other genera besides mammalian demonstrate dependence. I've named some above.

Dependence as a style of reproduction requires behavioral support.
Consider the marsupials, nonplacental mammals. The infant is first born, if that is the correct term, and while basically still a fetus, must crawl across the mother's body to the pouch to complete maturation.
That is an innate behavior, that style of reproduction could not exist without it. So:
I regard the behavioral components of dependence style reproduction as a drive.
A drive with two components, i have termed it as bimodal dependence. The infantile/juvenile phase (primary) and the parental phase (secondary).
The duration of the primary phase is determined by the capacities of the secondary phase.
So, the extended maturational process, (by comparison with other primates) of humans require changes in the dependence responses. Or should i say, extending the maturational process required changes?
Why extend the duration of the maturational process?
Come on, are we supposedly big brained or small brained? Work these things out on your own time.
An then I rote....
Something about competitive sexual selection.
