Since Darwin’s seminal work, the Universality Hypothesis maintains that the six basic emotions – happy, surprise, fear, disgust, anger and sad – are expressed using the same set of distinctive facial movements across cultures.
Here, we refute the Universality Hypothesis and raise the question: if the 6 basic emotions are not universal, which emotions are basic in different cultures?
No relevant competing interests disclosed.
