Vlad Magic Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I don’t mean as in the emotional aspect wether it be grief, pain, stress etc etc I mean the physical act of our tear ducts opening and the tears flow? Our bodies haven’t changed that much in 200,000 years however when did and why did man develop the ability or indeed need to cry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Seriously though, the brain receives signals from the part of the brain that controls your emotions. Sad emotions ignite the tear fountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¼½¾ Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Could it have started as a method of non-verbal communication, with the purpose of displaying distress, evolved to allow the young of the speices to show they need fed etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of misses my point and apologies if you did. Crying “the act of” involves the release of tears. Your very valid point is possible without tears. Kids greet, men get upset, distress is shown without the need of tears. Tears appear to be symbolic perhaps? Again it’s the bodies ability to produce tears I find fascinating.

Emotional tears contain endorphins and something else. Anyway another wonderful small miracle that is our body.
