Why do we get ‘chills’ when watching or hearing emotional or moving things?
In: Biology
I imagine this is the same mechanism that causes most mammals hair to raise when they are startled or feel threatened (I assume the is an evolutionary adaptation to make the animal appear larger than it is). As a humans, we have a much more nuanced emotional spectrum, but I’m guessing they are all linked to much more basic nervous system reactions.
I’m also completely making this up off the top of my head, but it seems like an answer that makes sense.
