I propose to offer a theory which, so far as I am 【C13】______ , has not previously been set forth: that only those animals capable of speech are capable of laughter; and that therefore man, being the only animal that【C14】______ , is the only animal that laughs.

This behavior, however, has been observed only in a human【C16】______ ; whether or not it occurs under natural【C17】______ is dubious; but the 【C18】______ fact that under any condition an ape is capable of such behavior is【C19】______ more than passing【C20】______ for does it not indicate that early man had the rudiments of laughter?
