the itch evolution gave you so boredom couldn't quietly kill you first
means the eager desire to learn or know something, often paired with a restless urge to poke at whatever you don't yet understand
from From Latin curiositas, born of cura, "care" — so a curious mind is literally a caring one, full of careful attention. It came into English through Old French curiosité in the medieval period, at first meaning fussy carefulness or even meddling, before softening into the bright-eyed hunger to know that we prize today.
