Emotions and the social brain
Watch the video. What is the role of the social brain for human adaptation and survival in society?
“We are an essentially social species; no component of our civilization would be possible without large-scale collective behavior. Yet much of our social behavior arises from neurobiological and psychological mechanisms shared with other mammalian species, raising questions about why we are different. Part of this difference may arise from knowledge of our own minds and those of others, a type of knowledge different from that about the shared nonsocial environment, and in degree if not in kind inaccessible and inconceivable to nonhuman animals” (Adolphs, 2009, 693–716).
