Where Do Emotions Come From?
Briefly

Darwin's theory on emotional expression highlighted the idea that emotions are tied to evolutionary adaptations, sharing universal expressions across different cultures and species.
The basic emotions theory claims emotions stem from ancient brain structures and suggests a universal expression among both humans and animals, shaping the understanding of emotional experience.
In contrast, cognitive and cortical theories argue that conscious emotional experiences are shaped by individual experiences, with an emphasis on the role of the cortex.
This ongoing debate on emotional processing raises essential questions about whether emotions are innate biological responses or shaped through cultural and personal experiences.
