Hi Rob D,
I think there is a problem trying to tie emotions to one level so that they
fit better into a metaphysics to keep us happy. There is a chemical element
in the body that has a relationship with emotions plus they are strongly
linked to our thoughts (which are also linked to our experiences and
interactions with others in a social context).

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.
