Taking a psychobiological approach, this text argues that emotional systems in humans, as well as other animals, are combinations of innate and learned tendencies and that there are no credible ways to really separate nature and nurture.Tags

This is a must read. Emotions show that we are animals. So, studying animal emotions and then comparing them to our own is the best and most appropriate way to understand humans.
