What good do individuals or species do, say, from dog bows or pig rolls? In The Kingdom of Play, David Toomey examines the nature, meaning, and mysteries of play behavior in animals ranging from bumblebees to humans. The author distills into a fascinating and coherent narrative a wealth of scientific knowledge about the distinctive features of play, its prevalence in the animal kingdom, its evolutionary history and neurobiology, and the impact of play on the lives of individuals and the trajectory of species development. Toomey presents play as a product of natural selection that is far from unique to humans, and at the same time as a rich source of material for it.
