Humans are almost unique in the animal kingdom in needing C-sections, due to our overdeveloped brains being almost, and occasionally slightly, too big for our birth canals.

Wolves and most functional dog breeds give birth with no issue at all.

It's mostly bulldogs and other wide-headed breeds that need assistance, which sounds to me like breeders going way too far on the wide head / narrow hips route of trait selection.

Yeah, if humans were quadrupeds with small heads you could deliver while walking.
