-Strongly held view that emotions are hard-wired, modular circuits that produce discrete outputs--Particularly true of "face" - even what we call faces "facial expressions" suggests they can be read-View has been around for thousands of years - at least since Plato and Aristotle -Entrenched in modern (esp Western) culture -Humans are built to make mental inference about others

Table 1.1 taxonomy of expressions - Emotional expressions discussed by Darwin, the bodily systems used, and the type of emotion expressed William James: The psychological approach William James argued against the common sense idea that when we feel an emotion it impels us in a certain way (for example, seeing a bear, feeling frightened, and thus being impelled to run).
Summary: Biology of Emotions and Emotional Geographies In this section, we delve into the biology of emotions, exploring how our brains process and experience emotions. We start by examining the amygdala, often referred to as the brain’s emotional communication center, which plays a crucial role in how we perceive and react to emotional stimuli.
Affective Neuroscience: What is it? Affective neuroscience examines how the brain creates emotional responses.Emotions are psychological phenomena that involve changes to the body (e.g., facial expression), changes in autonomic nervous system activity, feeling states (subjective responses), and urges to act in specific ways (motivations; Izard, 2010).
Earlier, you learned about the limbic system, which is the area of the brain involved in emotion and memory (Figure 1). The limbic system includes the hypothalamus, thalamus, amygdala, and the hippocampus. The hypothalamus plays a role in the activation of the sympathetic nervous system that is a part of any given emotional reaction.

The most fundamental emotions, known as the basic emotions, are those of anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise. The basic emotions have a long history in human evolution, and they have developed in large part to help us make rapid judgments about stimuli and to quickly guide appropriate behavior (LeDoux, 2000).
