Traditionally, in the common understanding of emotions, people tend to think as each of them as isolated feelings. To exemplify, several state that being Happy is associated to the feeling of joy or pleasure. Robert Plutchik theory states that emotions are related in a more complex relationship and that the origin of this relationship is part of a long evolutionary history. This means that our emotions have been developing along the evolutionary process and have adapted to increase the fitness of the species, playing an important role for survival. Emotions are not only a state of mind, they also trigger behaviors, for example, a predator will generate fear to an individual (a threat) and its behavior towards that threat will represent a survival reaction.

1. Emotions are experienced by all animals (including humans)

3. Emotions have evolved during time to increase the survival of species.
