How many human emotions do you think there are?

2 - Happiness and sadness. If you feel anything else... You're lying. 

Inside Out forgot Suprise! I feel Anger right now...

Fear and surprise use the same muscle reactions, but there is a functional reason for this which places them in the same type, as the article suggested. Common types are do not always indicate common origins (e.g. brothers and sisters resemble each other more than two random males or two random females). The muscle reactions being prior to the onset of the emotion is not helpful unless you can consolidate them into a primitive macro emotion. All that I saw from what I read is they found reactive states prior to emotion, which could also be interpreted as simply no emotion. Where are the emotion states in the brain and where are these muscular reaction schemas stored. If they're in two different locations in the brain communicating with each other with some measurable delay, then it looks to me like the muscular might be nothing more than just that, a muscular reaction. They might be onto something, but I need to know more to be persuaded. They probably have additional reasoning to offer. This was only a snippet of some research.

I'm not sure why this in the Just For Fun thread.
