I would say that's a pretty controversial take unless you strictly mean babies. At the point a kid can walk they are certainly capable of some level of reasoning because just walking successfully prior to it becoming muscle memory requires a fair amount of reasoning and children very rapidly figure out new things both spatial and logical.


So if you believe babies do not reason, and walking humans do, then younger humans up to some age do not reason, yes?


And dogs. Looks like all animals are rational by their definition.
