Is there a genetic component to humour?

    I'm hoping that some of you who might be knowledgeable in the fields of physiology, biology, or psychology might be able to furnish some opinions as to whether man, as a species, developed humour as a funtion of our physiology.
    There is a substantial amount of evidence to support the idea that humour has various positive effects on the physical body. That makes me wonder if the human species has a natural sense of humour as a result of the species evolving ways of meeting the body's needs.

    Does anyone have any ideas about this?
