Curiosity
cu·ri·ous
/kyõorēəs/
It’s a noun and a value that means the desire to know and learn. Without curiosity, we would not have human progress or innovation - that means no Youtube or apps, vaccines, or other scientific breakthroughs! While humans are naturally thirsty for knowledge, many other animals like apes, rodents, dogs, and cats display curiosity and do so because they all seek a rewarding experience of some kind.
Interesting Fact #1
