It's a scientific fact that the more intelligent the animal the longer the maturation period is. This also applies to humans, they are generally intelligent (although not equally across the board) but being of higher intelligence they have a longer maturation period, the longer maturation period means thet have more of a propensity to play. Kids play not because they haven't been programmed not to play, or because they haven't been properly instilled fear not to play cause they might wind up getting hurt. I am sure that there is a kid somewhere who is running when he not suppose and is not getting hurt. If kids run and play cause that is the phase they are in. If kids play and get hurt it's cause it is a dangerous world, not cause they haven't been properly programmed to fear getting hurt. Bear cubs run and play, no one thinks whether they have blank minds that weren't instilled fear of running and getting hurt.
