WOW!!! That was fascinating.

I find it fascinating, though, how such behaviors also create the PERCEPTION of affection in humans, so they also serve a second purpose of securing the care and affection of the human. This seems similar to how some neonatal human behaviors have evolved to secure our love and care, because they draw us in.
