Will vs present tense - general truth

hello how are you? I hope you are good., I send my greetings to all first.

I have learnt that both present tense and "will" can be used to state general truths.

for example:

1. A baby recognise its mother's voice soon after it is born.

2. A baby will recognise its mother's voice soon after it is born.

but, I do not understand their difference in this meaning.

could you tell me ?pls...pls... thanks.....

Anonymous A baby will recognise its mother's voice soon after it is born. If I'm right "will" is used to reassure. In this example, parents could be reassure that baby WILL recognise mother's voice, there is no doubt about it.
