In the past, emotions were mostly the object of philosophy and psychology, not science. What is more, at the beginning of human evolution, emotions were only used as a way to communicate – so emotions are older and even more natural than languages.
Darwin was the first scientist, who analyzed and tested emotions. It was a basis for his further researches and discoveries. In 1882 he had finally proved that some of the emotions are universal, and you can meet them in all cultures. Basic emotions like fear, joy, aversion, anger, sadness and so on, are determined genetically.
Unfortunately, in the modern world, the role of emotions is becoming less and less important. It is astonishing how we have let this happen and lost control in such a basic area of our life. This tendency is causing many of the modern diseases that people are struggling with. Our ancestors knew how to exhibit their emotions and use them in communication – a perfect tool in communication with people around us but also, with yourself. Anyway, even more important than the ability to display emotions is an understanding of their impact on your body and psyche. Many of the processes in your body are dependent on our emotions. Yes, this means that your life may depend on them.
