lean in and coordinate: Social mammals often respond to threat and peril by bonding with other mammals nearby. This thesis was first championed by Shelley E. Taylor and her colleagues and had a profound influence upon our understanding of our emotional lives. Taylor would argue that there is much more to our response to peril and threat than fight or flight, which was the predominant focus until her thinking. She would argue that when facing peril, humans, perhaps with greater frequency women, “tend and befriend”: we collaborate, care for, and bond with others to face peril. Taylor, Shelley E., Laura C.

we alert others to the wonders: Expressions of emotion in the face, voice, and body do more than just signal emotions to others; they are a language of social interaction. Emotional expressions provide important information about the individual’s feelings, intentions, and attitudes. They evoke responses in others; a cry, for example, will often stir others to sympathetic response. Emotion-related facial displays and vocalizations also provide information about whether the environment poses threats or is worthy of exploration. Keltner, Dacher, and Ann M. Kring. “Emotion, Social Function, and Psychopathology.” Review of General Psychology 2 (1998): 320–42.
