Why are people ticklish?

Friar Tuck

This falls under the study to social contact (grooming) for species that have, particularly mammals that have highly social groupings. Being ticklish would certainly draw more attention to that individual from other members of the group. Creates positive interactions that strength bonds. It would be interesting if one could find a structural (receptor) or physiological (brain wave pattern) that would be strongly correlated with the 'ticklish state' and see if these kinds of things are found only in highly social mammalian species. http://newton.dep.anl.gov/newton/askasci/1993/biology/bio003.htm Sep 03 02, 8:19 AM
