Description The purpose of this paper was to add one evolutionary facet to suggested topics of the conference about black and dark humor. Humor is most vivid in the conditions of close societies or in subcultures. As an evolutionary tool and also as a paradox, humor is to some degree supporting acceptance of parasitic social relations. Usually more dependent group or even isolated ruling class practices humor with gains on emotional and hormonal level and with rather positive effects on socialization. This habitual side of humor was be explained and illustrated by more examples from own regular travels to Asian countries. The scale of examples was from light erotic content and playing with words to humor in diplomatic missions and in international relations.
