Why do humans knead flour?

Kneading develops the gluten in the flour so that as the yeast works and produces gas, the gas is trapped within the gluten's structure thus causing the dough to rise. Typically ten minutes kneading by hand, or 5 minutes with a mixer dough hook. 1 to 1 1/2 hours rising time is needed for the dough to double in size. kneading is hard work by hand but the pulling and stretching the dough I believe gives a better result.
