short answer: we don’t know, but all great apes are ticklish. so our great ancestor was a tickler.

I hate being tickled. It doesn't make me laugh. It makes me cry and very upset.

maybe it could be a sort of survival check? if a mother tickled her baby and the baby laughed and reacted, it meant that the baby was alive and well. breathing well in response to pressure (exercises the lungs while laughing) responsive to swat away the tickler. just a crackpot theory but maybe thats why it feels so fun to be the tickler. hearing laughter from somebody you love and maybe subconsciously its like "okay they are good and healthy"

why do some of us have less sensitivity to being ticklish if we are all supposed to be ticklish

iirc even rats laugh when tickled on their stomach, their sound is too high pitched for humans to hear

Lily AJ Page :
but the fact we can't tickle ourselves remains the biggest mystery to me. I can poke, prod, and tickle my underarms, sides, neck, etc and absolutely nothing happens. but the second my boyfriend does it I'm on the floor threatening his life through uncontrollable laughter.

I’m pretty sure cats are ticklish. Its just that they dont laugh. I have a few cats & their stomachs and feet are ticklish.

TLDR: biologists continue struggle to understand the benefits of play between caretakers and children in highly social species, as if play behavior associated with “weak spots” that aren’t actually vulnerable to health, wouldn’t have evolutionary meaning in teaching young in a biologically safe manner, in a highly intelligent, highly social taxa.
