We’re Happy, we smile 😀 We’re Surprised we go: 😯 We’re Angry we go: 😠

Why is it that we have the same physical reactions to emotions as humains, is it something physical, something coded in us, because, no matter where a person is born even if we don’t understand each other, we still react the same ways

    As many other people have said humans do not have same physical reactions to emotions. There’s some similarity for certain emotions (disgust seems to be the one that gets the most evidence) but there’s a lot of variety of how very basic emotions are expressed across the world. This study is a good example showing how Western subjects look to how the muscles and movements of the face show emotions, but East Asian subjects looked small movements of the eyes to identify emotions and their intensity.
