So I was talking with me Bio prof. about kissing last February, and she talked about the evolutionary benefits of certain behaviors. For instance, we groom ourselves to keep away small pests and the diseases they could carry. We fight for resources.

A lot of things can be credited to evolution - why we do this, why we do that... But why are we creative? Why do we write poetry, sing songs or paint paintings? What evolutionary benefit does this serve? Why do we do it?
