Darwin's data sources
|
ability of humans to decode emotions

|
|

|
homolog= share develop. or evolutionary orgin (animals)
analog= same funciton but not same orgin) |
|
|
neurocultural theory
|

|
|
|
Universal affect program
|
genetically based pattern of action
complex, beh patterns not simple reflexes elicited by feature or event in enviornment and can become more skilled with learning kind of genetically determined start up program |
