Asked by saucybaby about 1 year ago, 9 answers.

Why is it that when we see people yawn, we get the urge to yawn as well? happy

Ooh! I saw this on a science programme!

Apparently, when someone else yawns, we yawn as well, because our subconcious tells us to empathise with the individual who is yawning, by yawning in return.

Interesting, huh? happy
