Similar timeline on babies. But I think it's important to distinguish "scientists" from "people" in this case. My mom witnessed my brother's circumcision, on the day of his birth. She knew without a doubt that he was in immense pain, which the doctor flatly denied. Similarly, people who work with animals have known that they feel pain since time immemorial.

> As recently as 1999, it was commonly stated that babies could not feel pain until they were a year old,

how would it even be possible to reach that conclusion?

Dogma needed it to be true so it was true.
