Re: Evolution of Anger and Fear

Are you suggesting that anger comes from lack of food? Are there no
other "needs" which might provoke an anger response? Such as the need
to reproduce, and the lack of that resource. I also think there are
other important 'emotions' that could come from a lack of nutrients.
our cousins and ancesters were group animals. Feelings of "love" or
'need for approval" may have evolved for a need of food, for example
getting nutrients from the help of others.

Fear may come from the fear of being alone and having to forage alone,
and/or being defenseless. An individual is less likely to be attacked
in a group.

The above is true for cells.

Four options are set up once a cell membrane is created:
1. Take in nurturing
2. block out non nurturing
3. hold in and use nurturing
4. excrete out waste.

Note how the stress response of fight and flight fits option 2 and option=
4.
Fight =3D Option 2 block out non nurturing
Flight =3D Option 4 excrete out waste.

For the first time we can see how these basic emotional responses evolved=

There should be basic emotional development for the other two options as =

Comment on the evolution of ANGER and FEAR?
