Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The human nervous system's immaturity at birth is largely due to skeletal adaptations to bipedalism. The evolution of bipedalism required changes in the human pelvic structure, limiting the size of the birth canal. This, in turn, necessitates earlier childbirth before the baby's head and brain grow too large to pass through, resulting in humans being born at a relatively early stage of neural development.
