DESCRIPTION:We all have emotions\, but where do they come from? In this ta
 lk\, I will present evidence that some emotional states are associated wit
 h discrete\, innate expressions. I will draw on investigations of vocal ex
 pressions of emotions in non-human primates and congenitally deaf individu
 als\, as well as across different cultures. These findings support the not
 ion that emotional vocalisations are specialised adaptations that have evo
 lved to help us deal with recurring challenges and opportunities\, and are
  modulated by learning. I will argue that our understanding of what emotio
 ns are should include a functional perspective centred around emotion prep
 aredness.
