Interesting!

I think it has a lot to do with our ability to think very abstractly, and to be able to ask ourselves questions which simply may never occur to other animals. Once we've asked them, there's a drive to try and answer them. When we can't, we become frustrated and make up answers. Over time, these made up answers get mistaken for real answers.
