Last month, Short Wave explored the evolutionary purpose of laughter. Now, we're talking tears.
From glistening eyeballs to waterworks, what are tears? Why do we shed them? And what makes our species' ability to cry emotional tears so unique?
Hosts Emily Kwong and Aaron Scott get into their feelings in this science-fueled exploration of why we cry.
