The most compelling point is K.P. Lewis and R.A. Barton’s assertion that the amygdala is an important structure for reciprocal playful exchanges. The amygdala’s role in learning and modulation in play fighting provides a mechanism for impulse control.

Neuroscientists have been pondering for years on how the brain evolved suddenly. Neuroscientist, Giacomo Rizzolatti,[20] found that movement and actions by one monkey activated the same neurons in another.

Indian-American Professor in psychology and biology V.S. Ramachanran, is author of the book, The Tell-Tale Brain, which explores human nature from a neurological viewpoint. In his book, he maintains:

In monkeys, these mirror neurons enable the prediction of simple goal-directed actions of other monkeys. But in humans, and in humans alone, they have become sophisticated enough to interpret complex intentions. How this increase in complexity took place, will be hotly debated for some time to come. As we will see later, mirror neurons also enable you to imitate the movements of others, thereby setting the stage for the cultural “inheritance” of skills developed and honed by others. They may have also propelled a self-amplifying feedback loop that kicked in at one point to accelerate brain evolution in our species.[21]
