What makes humans special and unique?
Well according to a recent Scientific American article it is very simple …
We masturbate. A lot.
(Oh, come on, it’s not that shocking!)
But the uniqueness is that no other animal, including our close primate relatives, does. The theory seems to be, at least in part, that it’s all to do with the ability of our well developed brains to create entirely novel and imaginary picture shows and videos.
I’ll leave it to you to follow the link and read the article. It’s long, but it’s interesting, especially if you’re a science geek.
