A new core hypothesis on laughter is presented. It has been built by puttingtogether ideas from several disciplines: neurodynamics, evolutionaryneurobiology, paleoanthropology, social networks, and communication studies.The hypothesis contributes to ascertain the evolutionary origins of humanlaughter in connection with its cognitive emotional signaling functions. Thenew behavioral and neurodynamic tenets introduced about this unusual soundfeature of our species justify the ubiquitous presence it has in socialinteractions and along the life cycle of the individual. Laughter, far frombeing a curious evolutionary relic or a rather trivial innate behavior, shouldbe considered as a highly efficient tool for inter-individual problem solvingand for maintenance of social bonds.
