  • The evolution of emotions in humans: A darwinian–durkheimian analysis.Jonathan H. Turner - 1996 - Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour 26 (1):1–33.
    Alexandra Maryanski's cladistic analysis of the last common ancestor to humans and apes reveals biological propensities in hominoids for autonomy, individualism, and weak-tie formation. The evolution of emotional capacities in humans, and the neuroanatomical bases for these capacities, are viewed as representing one of the many compensatory mechanisms for overcoming the low sociality contained in humans’ape ancestry.
