Basic emotions that emotions that are said to have evolved in response to the ecological challenges faced by our ancestors.
They are primitive and are said to be “hardwired” with each basic emotion relating to a distinct neurological circuit.
This means that we are hardwired to respond to certain situations with a basic emotion bases on our own ancestors.
Basic emotions are also referred to as “affect programs” and are known to be innate, universal, autopmatic and fast.
They trigger behaviors with a high survival rate. This is different to emotions such as nostalgia, which are developed later on, and are for example, not attributed to infants or animals.
