The Origin of Emotions Mark Devon

The Origin of Emotions identifies the purpose, trigger and effect of each emotion. This is a sample of the assertions made in this book: - mothers only love their children for 33 months - men only love a woman for 42 months - only women feel infatuation and heartbreak - only men feel jealousy - you feel revenge when a rule breaker harms you - you stop feeling revenge when you retaliate - you feel pride when your rank rises - you feel humiliation when your rank falls - you feel humor when another person's rank falls - you feel envy when a peer's rank rises above yours - you are always doing what is best for the species
