About this audiobook
The Play of Man is a work by Karl Groos, philosopher and psychologist who proposed an evolutionary instrumentalist theory of play. The book suggests that play is a preparation for later life. The main idea is that play is basically useful, and so it can be explained by the normal process of evolution by natural selection. When we "play" we are practicing basic instincts, such as fighting, for survival, just like animals do.
