Intro. A world in which humans evolved to have 2 hearts. Where the rebalancing of the body is prioritized, where emotions and thoughts are more intense. But so is self-control. 🧠 Psychology of a bicardiac human
1. More intense emotions, but also more regulated Two hearts signify a more powerful circulatory system, which leaves the body always "ready for action". This directly influences the limbic system.
Emotions arise faster
Physiological reactions are stronger
Adrenaline spreads through the body more efficiently
But — and this is important — the brains of this species would have evolved not to live in constant emotional explosion. Then he develops:
A more robust prefrontal cortex
More efficient self-regulation mechanisms
Ability to "uncouple" one of the hearts in moments of calm
Result:
They feel a lot, but they control very well. (Original story/idea of mine) (Create your own story)
