Humans ability to express emotions


Recommended Posts

Do you think the fact that human have evolved to laugh, smile, cry, blush etc etc have any evolutionary importance in survival rates?

 

Yes, emotions allow stronger social bonds. Having larger groups that care about one another would be a strong advantage.

I think emotions started their life as an innate releasing mechanism and gradually grew in importance and complexity from there. I'm sure you can expect to find them to a certain degree in at least most mammals...
