We enjoy sex, grasp facial expressions, understand logic and spontaneously acquire language—all of which make it easier for us to survive and produce children.
Well, other species survive and produce offspring and do it without grasping logic or spontaneously acquiring language (presuming we did acquire language spontaneously).
We tell stories, sing songs, invent tales, recount jokes and draw pictures in order to find a mate and, having found one, produce children.
Really? Seems a stretch to me. Moreover, it reduces the point of life to mere survival. We live because we live because we live. What a small-minded view of life.
