Ice Age baby might be ugly, deformed or live up to one of the words we pin on him/her, but we cannot judge it.


Let me explain.


You see, Ice Age baby is actually a victim in this mass hatred. When homo sapiens (which we now refer to as “humans”) roamed the Earth over 10,000 years ago, they wanted to populate the Earth, so they committed incest.
This will, of course, lead to genetic disorders becoming common among newly born homo sapiens, making them appear rather unappealing to eventually mate with. We see those who are deformed, or with genetic disorder as “ugly” or “deformed”.


Ice Age was also a victim of abandonment. This is of course a rational reaction from the family that took him/her in, being as
1. The child was clearly deformed, or, with genetic disorder
2. Many, many years ago, those who were weak, or vulnerable were left behind, which of course would be easy to do to the Homo Sapien dependent on carers to protect and feed it. It also doesn’t help that they are deformed. (See figure 1.)


As we all know, Ice Age baby was a rather devil like child, laughing at Sid’s pain. This of course, could be a genetic mutation from inbreeding, leading to it developing psychopathic tendencies. (See figure 1.) It is unfair to leave a defenceless baby, albeit deformed, alone in an ice cold environment, devoid of anyone to protect it, meaning that, unfortunately, Diego had to take it with him, leaving us to endure it’s crying and hideous appearance.


As the aptly named “Ice Age baby” was abandoned, this would certainly have an affect on the child’s mental sate later on in life, meaning that it could become a rather maniacal leader of the pack he will one day take the oath of leading into the cold wilderness. Perhaps Diego’s mindset was merely: If I go to great lengths to get this child back to a caring family, perhaps he will not one day be a threat to my descendants, and, God forbid, all other life inhabiting Earth.


This would make sense, as there were frequent tensions among the pack of Homo Sapiens and the animals. This includes showing signs of aggression, to going out of their way to hunt the animals for food. If a pack of humans were capable of this, what could Ice Age baby accomplish?


But, why could Ice Age baby be such a victim in all of this?
Well it’s because of his circumstances of birth.
Had the baby’s parents not been so neglectful, so neglectful to the point where a saber tooth tiger had to take it in, they might have grown to be an innocent child.
Had the baby’s parents decided not to commit incest, maybe it wouldn’t have appeared quite so hideous and unattractive to anybody.
