Yes, but it depends on your definition. All animals have certain

growth pattern changes that occur at birth, hence the definition of

embryo, fetus, infant, etc. But these same changes occur in humans

somewhere around 8 months after birth, rather than at birth, unlike

the rest of the animal kingdom. It is believed that this is because

the head would be so big as to make probably lethal complications in

birthing for the mother.
