We learn that primitive fear served as the engine of religious belief, while a desire for happiness led to humankind's first musings on achieving a perfect utopia. Challenging the notion that human emotion has remained constant, \u003ci\u003eA Natural History of Human Emotions\u003c\/i\u003e explains why, in the last 250 years, society has changed its unwritten rules for what can be expressed in public and in private.
