Laughing is a great way to relieve tension and alleviate stress. Laughing in the right context is also a very good way to enhance friendships and relationships. Laughter is, in fact, a precursor to social interaction. It signals that we feel good and we want to share that feeling with people who will enjoy it too.

In this quote, the author is saying that when humor goes, there goes civilization. We would not be able to get by without laughter. When mankind cannot laugh at itself, it would be hard to work together on things that require cooperation.
