Curiosity is an emotion that causes natural inquisitive behavior such as exploration, investigation, and\u00a0 learning, evident by observation in\u00a0 human and many\u00a0 animal species. The term can also be used to denote the behavior itself being caused by the emotion of curiosity. As this emotion represents a drive to know new things, curiosity is the fuel of science and all other disciplines of human study.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
