Genuine laughter correlates with superiority
According to the Discovery Channel online, genuine laughter emerges involuntarily and uses a different part of the brain than fake laughter.
The study on which the article is based led researchers to guess that perhaps, "people who spontaneously laugh more are genetically superior to those who hardly ever chuckle."
Fake laughter develops later than genuine laughter. You don't get really good at it until you have to laugh at your boss's jokes. At which point it's obvious that fake laughter correlates with inferiority. How else do you explain having sunk to a position where you have to laugh at those jokes?
