Why probably?
- hungie 2y agoI dunno, I've never spoken with a whale to compare notes.
- roenxi 2y agoFor starters, whales aren't tool users. So it'd be something of a surprise if evolution had programmed them to feel joy when their offspring use tools. Humans, on the other hand, seem to get a bit of a kick out of teaching other people (especially kids) to do things which makes a lot of evolutionary sense given how strategically central tools are to our species.
