You know this actually is a great question. I've really never thought about it in depth.

"Is it a learned behaviour? "

I dont think it can be considered "learned" because its generally the first thing that happens when a baby comes into the world, perhaps "instinct?" Perhaps babies are able to learn that crying will attract attention?

"Can babies understand each other."

Perhaps, the first thing that comes to mind is animals, do dogs understand each others "Barks?" I would tend to say even though animals probably understand each other, babies in my opinion do not have the initial capabilites to comprehend such a concept.

"How does crying differ in other races\cultures?"

I honestly dont have a response :O

Interesting topic though, would enjoy to hear others opinion on the matter..
