| Popis: | The expression of emotions and their recognition in conspecifics are pivotal to social life. As Darwin postulated in his pioneering book The expression of the emotions in man and animals, many morphological features and functions of emotional expressions characterized in humans are homologous to those of other animals. Intriguingly, despite this early work, scientists have been skeptical about the feasibility of studying emotions in nonhumans and, therefore, the study of their emotional expressions has been limited. However, recent technological advances in neuroscience, genetics, and fine-scale behavioral analyses enable researchers to investigate human emotions in direct comparison with other animals. Throughout this chapter, the authors provide convincing evidence that nonhuman primates produce and recognize conspecific emotional expressions. Some of them, especially the bared-teeth display, are used in multiple contexts, suggesting cognitively sophisticated functions. The flexible use of emotional expressions seems to be tightly linked to species sociality, such as level of tolerance. |
