Understanding Laughter and Humor: Why We Laugh, Why We Don’t, and Why It Matters
John Charles Simon
And it sheds light on the social dynamics governing human interactions, both positive and negative, by recognizing laughter not as a reflexive reaction to a certain class of stimuli, but as a vital form of nonverbal communication—not only for us, but for our great ape cousins as well.
