All the time the people all around the world have tried to answer some universal question; one of this question was “¿where our emotion born?”,  one of the first answers about this question  was  the James and Cannon’s Answer; it has a common sense basis, basically this answer explain how the emotion process is made but of a very simple way: First the experience of the perception of a stimulation, second you feel the emotion and third the execution of a conduit.[2]

Another answer was the Darwin’s one, in his book “the expression of the emotion in animals and humans” he tell us that the human facial expressions shows some emotional stages similar in every human being.

After that another people answer this question like the Dr Charles Mills says that the right hemisphere of the human brain is the most susceptible to the emotions, and most recently the science community found that the emotional center of the human brain is the amygdala, it is the organ that coordinates every single emotion in the human brain. It is a set of neuronal cores, placed in the deepness of the temporal lobes of the brain.[3]
