Why do we laugh at a good joke? And also when being tickled? Why do we walk upright? Do only humans have a consciousness? Is genetic mutation and natural selection really the driving force of evolution? How has it come to happen that the male sex drive is stronger than that of women?In his book "The Origin of Humor and How Evolution Really Works," the physicist Thomas Dramlitsch shows that, through the enlightenment of the genesis of humor, these key human questions can be answered in a surprisingly concrete manner. Above all, however, it turns out that the laws of evolution seem different from that which is commonly believed today.The new theory of evolution put forth in this book contains natural selection only as a side aspect. The main engine of our evolution, it turns out, is entirely different from mutation and natural selection, and will be rather surprising for most readers.Abandoning natural selection as the main driver of evolution leads to an evolutionary theory in which everyone - the weak as well as the strong - is allowed to survive.
