Talk:Play (activity)

cognitively advanced non-human species
I abhor the description of play's usefulness to "cognitively advanced non-human species", as currently mentioned twice (!) in teh lede.

First the term is vague, though sounding specific. second, most if not all mammals and birds can be observed playing. i am no fish and insect expert but i wouldnt be surprised if they play too. I suggest to delete this "cognitively advanced" and "higher functioning".--Wuerzele (talk) 04:05, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
