Are you suggesting that anger comes from lack of food?

Not at all. =A0It's too much bad coming in. Not a lack of good.

Anger is the reaction to being forced. It is the emotion of
protecting the organism from any threat outside of it.

The positive aspect of any organism is to take in what nurtures
and block out what doesn't nurture or endangers - the block out is #2.

=A0Are there no

other "needs" which might provoke an anger response? Such as the need
to reproduce, and the lack of that resource. =3DA0I also think there ar=

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.

I suggest that fear is at its base, the fear of not having enough
nurturing, food etc.
So it evolved from lack of nurturing.

Now remember ALL functions of all living things evolved out of these
four options.
We must take them literally when they began, but then see that they
evolve to everything that is part of living things.

So fear is at first an emotion evolved from lack of nurturing within,
then
evolved to other projected fears.

I'm having trouble with your idea of Anger only coming from these four
cellular functions. You could look at the waving cilia of a cell and
suggesting this is how we evovled "waving" to friends. That would be
projecting our complex emotions on to the cell.
