Our emotional world is something that defines us humans and accompanies us throughout our lives: Emotions are an essential element of the human experience and they profoundly influence our perception, our thinking and our behavior.

But what evolutionary advantage do emotions give us?

Even before language emerged, our ancestors were able to communicate fear, disgust, anger, joy, sadness and surprise non-verbally

Health scientist Matthias Baum from the species-appropriate

Science team dives with us into the depths of our emotions and reveals something astonishing:

About ten percent of people cannot do anything with their emotions, they are emotionally blind and suffer from what is known as alexithymia

In this episode, we clarify the most important questions about our emotions: How does science define emotions? Where exactly do they arise? Are emotions anchored in our genes? Can they be measured? And why are emotions so extremely important when it comes to our health? HEALTH NERDS. Man, simply explained.

You will then hear the answers from our health experts in the podcast on the following Thursday in the health nerds consultation hour.
