Childhood play question jpollardsmith 05/16/06
    Hello,

    I live in Arizona and I was wondering why natural selection selected childhood play in many organisms. To me, it doesn't seem like it would increase an organism's chances for survival.

    Would you know the evolutionary reason behind childhood play?

    Thank you,

    John

      How do you suppose lawnmower racing evolved so suddenly ? Or ponder the punctuated equilibrium behind the star search phenomena?

      deep stuff this evolution.
