Fauci of feelings”? Luscombe states, “In surveys taken by 7,000 people over five years, Brown and her team found that on average people can identify only three emotions as they are actually feeling them: happiness, sadness and anger.

You ran to eat and to avoid being eaten you ran to find a mate and impress her, and with her you ran off to start a new life together. And when our ancestors finally did make their first cave paintings, what were the first designs?

Do we really exist in a society where people can think of little else other than cock size? How boring.
