  • It is simply not true that humans are the only ones with emotions and not animals. Example: When a herd of elephants has one sick elephant that is ready to die the herd encircles the sick elephant (sometimes helping to hold the sick elephant up) and walks to their special bone yard (so to speak) and the herd will stay with the sick elephant until it dies. It is also a known fact that elephants cry and mourn after the death. Apes are the closest to humans and can show many human emotions.

Why are humans so emotional?

Humans are emotional because we have such a big brain. Our intelligence is so much greater then any other kind of animal. Humans think hard but most of the time we think so much and we can get so intelligent that we can get emotionally distressed and act emotionally distressed and know our emotions like any other animal. Without knowing emotions animals wouldn't be able to exist. This is why where so emotional because where so intelligent and we think hard.

Smiling is an important social behavior in infants because it?

Smiling is an important social behaviour in humans, from infancy onwards, because it is the primary body-language method of showing other humans we are friendly, mean no harm, and - especially in infants - like the person they're smiling at. When a person smiles at you, your first instinct is to smile back, and to feel liking for them and empathy with them. So when a human at a vulnerable stage of development, or in a vulnerable situation, smiles at another human, the other person is encouraged to behave kindly and supportively towards them. In this way, smiling is primary survival behaviour. Our body language is also important when relating to non-humans. When we, for example, smile instinctively or deliberately at an animal, other positive and friendly body-language also comes automatically into play. An animal which may have a tendency to take fright, or to be aggressive, is soothed; this effect is very obvious in our interaction with dogs, but is also effective with less intelligent species: as between humans, it frequently isn't the smile alone, but its associated body-language which reassures. Touch, of the positive sort, is an extension of the body-language involved in smiling, and reinforces the effect.
