Survival of the Wittiest: Was Human Language Driven by Humour?
According to a daring new study that was published in PNAS Nexus, human language evolution was motivated by wit rather than just the necessity to survive. Ljiljana Progovac, a linguist at Wayne State University, suggests that sexual selection actively favoured quick-wittedness, or the capacity to connect words in smart, humorous ways. It's possible that our predecessors joked their way into sophisticated language.

The Disappearance of Common Sense (As Told by Warning Labels)
There was a time when products trusted us to use them correctly. A ladder did not need to remind us not to stand on the very top rung. A candle did not feel compelled to clarify that fire, historically speaking, is hot. Shampoo did not warn us that it was not to be consumed as a breakfast smoothie.

When Humor Isn’t Funny:
Most people assume humor is a universal language. They treat comedy as a default setting—something everyone should enjoy, understand, and participate in without effort. But some adults experience the opposite reaction. They sit in rooms full of laughter and feel nothing. Comedy clubs, sitcoms, improv, slapstick, exaggerated characters, “funny faces,” absurd dialogue, and manufactured chaos all fall flat.
