I would say that emotions are highly complex social behavior, not
biological. The only animals that appear to show any emotion are the most
socially complex animals. A dog will whimper when you leave and be happy
when you return, a cat will barely notice. The difference: dogs in the wild
have highly complex social behavior whereas the solitary hunter cat has very
little social interaction.
