Yesterday was watching a program on Animal Planet on dogs. The program reveals that when the puppies are between 4 weeks to 10 weeks they play and in their game, they are willing(generous) to admit other species too( including humans). All they seem to want is good game. Playing games therefore is the best way to bond while getting the mind-body-hand-leg-eye coordination in place. So a good game develops skills, creates good bonds that last a lifetime (thereby increasing the network and enabling survival) and refreshes mind. Skills of gaming are the earliest social skills that any animal can pick up. So it is not surprising that in humans too it remains the same way.Quote:
Is there an evolutionary significance to at least some of the common games that are found all over the world?
