Which is what I said above.

Ehhhhhhhhh kind of. I just wanted to draw the distinction, which probably wasn't clear in my original comment on the video, that there are two categories of smiles - reflex or social. I wanted to clarify that the baby was not smiling in a social manner like you or I would, rather it was a reflex.

No one can know that for sure, unless the study uses a non-intrusive encephalogram.

Smiling is a human evolutionary trait, and while it is true it can be a reflex, it’s mainly used for social interactions.

For example, a person that doesn’t like dogs will never smile a them.
