Yawns ok!
Nobody knows. Science does not know why people yawn. The notion that it is to supply extra oxygen to the brain is proven to be utter nonsense- especially as the greater part of the yawn is the exhalation. It's been tested- there is no extra oxygen intake.
As for them being contagious it is true but again a mystery. An interesting fact however is that if you see a young baby yawn you will yawn as well but if the baby sees you yawn it will NOT. Apparently sometime around 5 or 6 months of age is when a baby will begin to yawn upon observing others do it... and only from that moment on do the parents have any hope of influencing the baby's actions/training it.

Yawnng is rather influential in emotionally inpacting the same reaction on another person.
