'''Curiosity''' is an [[emotion]] related to natural [[inquisitive]] [[behavior]] such as exploration, investigation, and [[learning]], evident by observation in human and many 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.

Although curiosity is an innate capability of many living [[beings]], it cannot be subsumed under category of [[instinct]] because it lacks the [[quality]] of fixed [[action]] [[pattern]]; it is rather one of innate basic emotions because it can be expressed in many flexible ways while instinct is always expressed in a fixed way. Curiosity is common to human beings at all ages from infancy to old age, and is easy to observe in many other [[animal]] species. These include apes, cats, fish, reptiles, and insects; as well as many others. Many aspects of exploration are shared among all beings, as all known terrestrial beings share similar aspects: limited size and a need to seek out food sources.
