Excited to share our new paper in @CommsBio on the evolution of yawning in vertebrates!
In the largest study on yawning ever conducted (species N > 100), phylogenetic analyses provide further evidence that yawning is an adaptation for cooling the brain.

No experimental evidence for yawn contagion in galahs

Across two experiments, we tested for yawn contagion in galahs by presenting videos of conspecifics yawning. We found no difference in response following exposure to yawn footage or non-yawn control footage.

Sports, team games, and physical skill competitions appear to be a human universal and may have been prevalent throughout the hominin lineage.

"These results align with previous studies conducted on endothermic animals, suggesting the conservation of primitive functions of yawning across vertebrate species."

Reminds me of a remarkable fossil that was on display in Guyot Hall at Princeton while I was a postdoc. A great example of a behavior that was fossilized
