Throughout history, there has been a great deal of debate over the purpose of emotions. Some argue that emotions must serve a purpose. After all, if they didnt, why would humans have evolved such complex emotional systems and expressions?

Do you think emotions have a purpose or not? If so, what is this purpose, and what evidence can you provide to back up your claim? If not, why do you think emotions serve no purpose, and what evidence can you provide to back up your claim?
