Wow. The furniture in <set:268> is really cool! (See the brickshelf picture
at <http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/0000/0268-1979/0268-01.html>)

But, do those sets from 1979 really predate the space sets from 1978? I do see
a minifig-as-baby in <set:208>, also from 1978, but there's no examples of
either before that.

My conclusion is that the minifig was developed to be a grown-up figure, but
was also adopted (no pun intended) for use a child with the old-style big
people.
