Assignment Task:
Human mimicking behavior greases the machinery of social interactions. Subconsciously you form connections with and like other people who are similar to you. Think how often you have said, "I liked her the second I met her!" Mimicry increases positive social behavior: studies have shown that individuals who have been mimicked are more helpful and generous toward not only their mimicker but also other people present than are nonmimicked individuals. This binding of people together through enhanced prosocial behavior may have adaptive value by acting as social glue that holds a community together and fosters safety in numbers.
