to have people help them survive, sort of. It depends on level of needs an individual is experiencing. Is a person experiencing starvation? Then, yes, they'll feel compelled, to get help, but if they can easily survive then the urge is to socialize is due to a desire to fulfill higher needs. Let me refer you to Maslow's Hierarchy of needs.

The Route Cause of All Laughter
*Laughter Spoiler Alert* If you are concerned, that knowing what causes laughter will ruin it for you, then DON'T READ THIS!
The core reason any thought, perception, sight, whatever it is, is funny is due to two key components.
A firm belief in what is perceived to be normal, correct, or appropriate for a situation, and a supposition that contradicts what is perceived as normal, correct, or appropriate for that situation.
The feeling/experience of laughter is when something is perceived to contradict what the brain knows, so profoundly, that the body causes a chemical reactions to occur in order to tell us that what we just perceived is completely untrue.
So, the cow jumping over the moon is "utterly" false.
