Going To The Bathroom Like Yawning Is Contagious.

Going To The Bathroom Like Yawning Is Contagious:
Going to the bathroom, like yawning, is contagious.  Kyoto University researchers studied chimps and found they go to the bathroom when they see others going. The same can be said for humans. Researcher Ena Onishi says, ‘In humans, urinating together can be seen as a social phenomenon. This behaviour is represented in art across centuries and cultures and continues to appear in modern social contexts. Our research suggests that this phenomenon may have deep evolutionary roots. We found that chimpanzees, our closest relatives, tend to urinate in response to the urination of nearby individuals.’
