Curiosity has been a driving force for survival and learning since the time of our ancestors, guiding them to find resources, learn and build relationships. Favored by natural selection, it has been passed down through generations, and research suggests that infants have a natural preference for novelty. Curiosity triggers the release of dopamine in our brains, making it inherently rewarding. Its role in infant development is evident in the motivation for language acquisition and broader cognitive and social development. Curiosity plays a crucial role in a child's evolution as they navigate the world, constantly asking questions to understand their environment and establish their place in it.
