They say laughter itself dates back to our shared ancestors, more than 15 million years ago.
My colleague Paul Henley spoke to the lead author of the study, Chiara Di Gregorio, from the University of Warwick.
Chiara DiGregorio.
We end with a payphone in Washington, D.C., but this isn't any old phone.
We sent The Happy Pod's Riley Farrell to make a call.
In an age of smartphones, stumbling across a payphone is like a blast from the past.
And on a residential street in Washington, D.C., one hangs on a pole.
Chrome, black steel, receiver dangling from a cord.
Seemingly standard stuff.
So, I stroll up to the payphone.
Now, I should confess I did not just happen upon it.
I came here with an express purpose.
This isn't any ordinary payphone.
And to discover why, you must pick up.
This is the joke phone, a local curiosity that's been spreading giggles across Washington, D.C.
for three years.
It's a restored payphone that's been given a second life.
It delivers jokes, fun facts, Shakespearean insults, and even the occasional pep talk.
The man behind it all is Don Rutledge, a primary school substitute teacher by day who moonlights as the mastermind behind the jokes phone.
He told me where his idea began.
