DUYGULARIN EVRİMİ

Sevinç, üzüntü, korku, güven, mutluluk vs. gibi duyguları biyolojik evrim teorisine dayanarak açıklama gayreti duyguların evrimine dair bir literatür oluşmasına yol açmıştır. Duyguların evrimi konusu doğrudan biyolojik evrimle alakalı olup daha çok insanın biyolojik yapısıyla birlikte ahlaki ve duygusal yönünün de evrim geçirdiğini düşünenler tarafından tartışılan bir konudur. Buna göre genelde memeliler özelde ise insanın duygularının evrimsel ilerleme sonucunda bugünkü kompleks yapısına ulaşmış beyin ve sinir fonksiyonlarının bir ürünü olduğu; diğer bir ifadeyle duygu dünyamızda olup biten her şeyin temelinde beyindeki sinirsel etkileşimlerin bulunduğu kabul edilmektedir. Böyle bir kabul ise zihinleri insanoğlunun duygu potansiyelini hayvanlardan tevarüs edip etmediği ile insanın diğer gelişmiş memelilerle paylaştığı ortak duygusal özelliklerin neler olduğuna yönelik sorular sormaya sevketmektedir

Evolution of Emotions

Efforts to define emotions such as happiness, sadness, fear, angerbased on biological evolution have led to the development of a literature regarding the evolution of emotions. The issue of evolution of emotions is directly related to biological evolution and is, in fact, often discussed by those who hold the view that humans have evolved morally and emotionally, along with an evolution in their biological features. It is there fore acknowledged that as in other mammals, the emotions of humans are produced by a variety of functions of the brain and the nerves which have evolved into a far more complexs tructure today; in other words, an interactive neural network is mainly responsible for all that happens in our emotional world. Such a view, however, will motivate us to inquire whether the potential range of human emotions are descended from animals and what different emotional features people have in common with other mammals are
