Humans have an "innate mechanism" that causes them to respond to infants' particular facial features.
Unlike adults, they have larger eyes and heads, which resonates with us. This assumption was confirmed by a study published in July 2016.
Why do people react to kittens
Therefore, unlike adults, babies have larger eyes and heads, which makes us tender.

What is cute aggression
The desire to bite and crush something cute is not a type of psychopathy, but a completely normal phenomenon known as cute aggression (“cute aggression”, “aggressive tenderness” or “frantic tenderness”).

Cute creatures evoke such a strong emotional reaction that even a normal person with a healthy psyche experiences emotions that go off scale.
