THE ANATOMY OF LAUGHTER
DVD
Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
Studying the human response to humor from a physiological and psychological standpoint, this program highlights the importance of vocal cords in producing laughter, contrasts human and simian forms of humor, and gives viewers an evolutionary perspective on laughter's role in cooperation and adaptation.
Also featured are interviews with comedians—one teenaged, the other 92 years old—who demonstrate basic joke mechanics, while doctors and patients express varying degrees of skepticism about laughter’s healing power.
Quantities are limited.
