The Friendliest Animal
14 So, can animals be friends? Like humans, animals cooperate,
play together, share resources, and protect and defend each
other. Some form strong, long-lasting partnerships. But maybe
there’s more to friendship than that. Human brains are “wired”
for complex emotions and thoughts. And humans can talk.
You can share more than food with your friends. You can
share ideas, dreams, secrets, sorrows, joys, worries, and hopes.
Some scientists think that our ability to form friendships, to
trust each other, share, and cooperate—and especially to help
one another when we get nothing in return—has enabled
humans to be the most successful animals on earth.
enabled If a situation enabled people or animals, it gave them what
they needed in order to do something.
