Curiosity (from Latincuriosus "careful, diligent, curious," akin to cura "care") is a quality related to inquisitive thinking such as exploration, investigation, and learning, evident by observation in human and animal species. Curiosity is heavily associated with all aspects of human development, in which derives the process of learning and desire to acquire knowledge and skill.
The term "curiosity" can also be used to denote the behavior or emotion of being curious, in regards to the desire to gain knowledge or information. Curiosity as a behavior and emotion is attributed over millennium as the driving force behind not only human development, but developments in science, language, and industry.
Causes
Curiosity can be seen as an innate quality of many different species. It is common to human beings at all ages from infancy through adulthood, and is easy to observe in many other animal species; these include apes, cats, and rodents. Early definitions cite curiosity as a motivated desire for information. This motivational desire has been said to stem from a passion or an appetite for knowledge, information, and understanding.

She dreams and she cries Never even got a goodbye I love you and will stand by you Until the end of time, he said And now he has left and she cries Now she is left by herself With a child on her hands And her tears, they stain her young face Because of this mistake And she says, I am alone Me and my child Where did he go He said he loved me And the years, they pass And the time goes by And she still cries She hopes that her son will meet his father
