It is what allows them to be alive/work hard. It is considered to be found in striving youth ( semen) and energetic hunters and violent men. Justification for head hunting rituals ( go around village slashing heads off=increase liget) Our emotions are our bodily changes that signal how we should behave. Each emotions represents a particular body state ( fear=increase heart rate, blood rate increase, breathing etc). Emotions are these physical changes that makes us feel human. Thus, emotions are all about physiological pattern and nothing else. It also suggests that people in all cultures should have the same emotional experiences.
