In the belly of the joke: humor to reflect the architecture of the mind

Author's name: Matthew H. Lee - Daniel Danette - Rinad Adamsdar Publisher: Sutur for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2021 Literary classification: Sociology About the book: Humor stands behind questions about what we laugh at. Why do we see old jokes as if they are outdated? How has humor been affected by development? The joke has a core, and each time it serves a purpose, as its purposes multiply. And of course, the fake joke will not succeed! Either you laugh at it, or you do not react to it. This book deconstructs humor and its relationship with perception. And we discover roles that the joke plays in our daily lives that we may not have noticed initially, or perhaps we did not know they stem from humor. Contagious laughter, perceptual humor, are all hot topics related to evolution and Darwinian theory, which launched like an unstoppable ship as long as the winds of knowledge and the right question are available.
