Что такое эмоции и зачем они нужны? За столетия изучения этого вопроса ученые так и не нашли на него ответ. Более того, они даже не могут договориться, как этот ответ должен выглядеть. Нейробиолог Дэвид Андерсон убежден, что объективный и эмпирический подход к изучению эмоций может предложить нейронаука. Она позволяет искать ответы на сложные вопросы об эмоциях, раньше считавшиеся неразрешимыми. Долгие годы Андерсон изучал нейронные системы, контролирующие эмоциональное поведение у животных, чтобы понять те же механизмы работы мозга у людей.

Our understanding of diseases have dramatically changed over human history. Early civilisations believed health and disease were directly caused by the gods. This is why priests and priestesses were also healers and doctors. The ancient Greeks introduced the four humours theory, namely that the body was composed of four fluids: blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Disease and illness were caused by imbalances. Treatment was to rebalance these fluids.

Regardless, the future of our planet was changed forever. Slowly, the primate evolved, abandoning the trees for solid ground and four legs for two–and the tools changed with it. Stones were sharpened, then attached to sticks, before stone gave way to bronze, iron, steel.
