It is very interesting to how humans get chills and goosebumps. It is also very confusing to why do we do it though. The real reason we get chills and goose bumps is the same reason cats do. If we are going to get attacked, then look as big as you can. This may be confusing especially since we are human beings. This concept had been developed a long time ago when we actually had hair all over our bodies. Someone must have had scared someone away by doing a chill or goose bumps. I imagine this would look much scarier than with hair though. This became a useful defensive mechanism and we do it today naturally. Hair raising happens naturally to the cold since it helps us keep our temperature. However it may happen when we are scared because of that one guy who decided it was a good idea to raise hair. Shivers can also happen to any big surprise or intense emotion. This can even occur in music like when the singer begins to sing or a change in volume. This is another reason why scary movies are popular. False alarms happen to practice our defensive mechanism, so when me watch scary movies, we get the danger, but our conscious still understand were safe.
I enjoyed the article very much. I believe the article gave only a bit of info on the subject, but it said the most important things needed. I believe it was a semi good article for my standards. Also, I believe the more you know may help you, and this article just may interest people into emotions and make people curious.
