      The most popular theory about this – based on the evolution theory- believes that emotions have helped us survive. Humans developed an emotional system because it could respond quick to danger. For example, back then when we lived in the wild, if we saw a tiger, it would be better to be rocked with fear than to sit around and think about the threat.
