Quienes somos y como hemos llegado a ser quienes somos son los eternos enigmas a cuya resolucion se consagran, directa o indirectamente, multiples disciplinas en un intento por resolver una parte del puzzle. J. Turner tambien se embarca a traves de las paginas de la presente obra en esta investigacion concretando la pregunta en un aspecto de nuestra naturaleza, a saber, el social, transformando asi el enigma inicial en como hemos llegado a ser seres sociales. Para responder a ello el presente libro aporta pistas sumamente valiosas en la reconstruccion del puzzle, reparando en una pieza olvidada y al mismo tiempo clave para entender la identidad de los humanos: las emociones, llegando asi a defender la sorprendente y poco frecuente tesis de que las emociones son el fundamento de los lazos sociales en los humanos. On the origins of human emotions trata, pues, de descifrar mediante una historia logica y factible como opero la seleccion para hacer de los humanos los animales mas emocionales que existen sobre la tierra. 1 Para ello J. Turner, profesor de sociologia de las emociones en la Universidad de California (Riverside), realiza un recorrido interdisciplinar, sin por ello abandonar su enfoque sociologico, con el fin de anclar su tesis en distintos puertos intelectuales, mostrando asi, como el mismo senala, que la trasgresion de estas fronteras en el conocimiento se perfila cada vez mas necesaria en cualquier estudio del ser humano. Asi, con el fin de entender mejor la dinamica de las emociones en las relaciones humanas desde una perspectiva sociologica y evolucionista, J. Turner elabora un argumento original y riguroso, transportandonos al comienzodenuestra historia como especie. Para el autor se hace evidente, siendo este el punto central de toda su argumentacion, que la capacidad emocional fue la manera mas eficaz que tuvo la evolucion para garantizar nuestra supervivencia; y esto
