Abstract

The study of emotions has allowed usto understand how human beings experience theirrelationship with the physical and social environment,and their extraordinary ability to adapt to the changesimposed by evolution. The objective of this work isto analyze how throughout the centuries we haveunderstood the bodily sensations, thoughts andbehaviors associated with our emotions. At first, theconcept of emotion is defined and integrated into thefield of psychology. Subsequently, it investigates thecerebral substrate that has allowed its interpretationfrom the neuroscientific perspective. We also brieflyreview its historical development, from the classicalauthors to the most current ones, such as Ekman,Ledoux and Damasio, always from a biologicalevolutionary perspective. Undoubtedly, emotionshave been debated throughout history, and willcontinue to be, understanding this complex processas one of the identity signs of human beings, wherethe consciousness of this process, the feelings, havedetermined their past and will largely determine theirfuture as a society.
