I was told once that yawning dates back to our ancestors when we were still climbing trees. As the social group was spread out over more than one tree, yawning was an effective way to signal the end of the day and time to settle in and sleep. Once the first yawn went out it spread throughtout the whole group.

I think it makes pretty good sense.
