Play is a semi-structured way of learning important skills! Evolution really just has to make it engaging enough for you to learn the skills, not much of a reason for it to persist after that.
- fsckboy 2y ago>not much of a reason for it to persist after that for working out and keeping fit!... oh, hmmm, I guess that's glaring evidence that working out and keeping fit are not beneficial after all
- llamaimperative 2y agoI am clearly speaking from the perspective of evolutionary pressures. And you're right, there's very little evolutionary pressure on working out, staying fit, staying happy, etc. etc. beyond the bare minimum required to ensure propagation.
- ViktorRay 2y agoYou don’t need to play to stay fit. Adult lions don’t play like baby lions yet adult lions are still fit.
- ajuc 2y agoOnce you can't reproduce and can't help with reproduction evolution doesn't care if you stay fit.
- bongodongobob 2y agoWell that's not the point of play to begin with, it's learning motor skills, so your logic doesn't make any sense.
