The fact that all babies vocalize with cries and coos in the first few months, and that these vocalizations enable the babies to maintain contact with caregivers, suggests that they are universal, i.e. present in all infants regardless of culture. Furthermore, the survival advantage conferred by these vocalizations indicates that they are adaptive, i.e. selected for because they enhance the likelihood of an organism's survival and reproduction. Therefore, evolutionary psychologists would likely classify infant cries and coos as universal and adaptive.
