Question

How did we evolve to have a sense of humor?

Answer 1

When the first fart was blown, and the first woman gagged. This is prehistoric humor and still triggers laughter even though we are civilized and know the science, it's still drop to the floor funny when you see someone off guard walking into an air biscuit.

Answer 2

Don't know about the rest of you, but my sense of humour certainly helps me survive. Also, I believe some of the more intelligent animals have a sense of humour, if not completely like ours. And some humans have not a trace of it; how they survive this world is a mystery to me!

Answer 3

Laughter is generally believed to have a benefical effect on our health, presumably because it lowers our stress level by helping us let off steam and being an integral part of any healthy relationship. By natural extension, something that enhances well-being is linked to survival. From this perspective, it certainly is logical for a sense of humour to have evolved throughout the history of mankind.. . Animal behaviour is considered quite complex and even if animals did have a sense of humour, it would probably not be manifested in the same way as it is in humans. Many animals do play, however, and this is an important aspect of their development.

Answer 7

Have you ever wondered about the reason of our existence? Have you ever wondered why we die, and where we go after death? What will happen to us in the end? Have you ever asked yourself why God made the earth and all that is in it under man’s dominion? Why were the night and the day, and the sun and the moon created? What are we supposed to do during our lifetime? Were we created just to eat, drink, and enjoy ourselves before we die? As one poet put it: . “I do not know whence I have come. . I saw my feet walking on the road. . As they please I go and stop. . What am I doing here? . How did the road find me?. I do not know! I do not know! I do not know! ”. . God has emphasized in many verses of the Qur’an that He did not create us without purpose. He said: “What! Do you think that I created you simply in jest? And that you would not be returned to Me?” (23:115) He also said: “What! Does man think that he will be left to roam at his will?” (75:36) In addition, He said: “Do people think that they will be left to say: “We believe,” and they will not be held accountable?” (29:2) . Indeed, God Has created human beings for a purpose and with a purpose: TO WORSHIP HIM ALONE (Monotheism). He said: “I have not created the Jinn and humankind except only to worship Me. I don't require provision or feeding from them. Surely Allah is the All-provider, the Possessor of all strength, the Firm.” (51:56-58) In fact, all prophets told their people to worship God alone (Monotheism) and shun worshipping His creation (Paganism). God said: “I assuredly sent among every people a messenger with the command: Worship Allah and avoid worshipping false gods.” (16:36). Prophet Abraham, for example, believed in One God, who had no partner. Anyone who holds a different understanding of God than this has contradicted the religion of Abraham and follows falsehood. God says in the Qur’an: “Those who reject the religion of Abraham make fools of themselves.” (2:130). Prophet Jesus was reported in the Gospels to have said: “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only’.” (Luke 4:8). Prophet Jacob also said (in the Qur'an) to his people: “Indeed, those which you worship besides Allah are only names that you and your forefathers have established, for which Allah has sent down no authority. The command belongs only to Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. That is the right religion, but most people do not understand.” (12:40). Read more ………..
