What's with this "we" business? I know for a fact I have emotions, I can
hypothesize that you have emotions based on the way you behave but I don't
know that for a fact and never will. For all I know I'm the only conscious
being in the universe.

Even 500 million years ago when the first multicellular animals evolved they
behaved as if they had the emotion of lust, and also anger and its opposite
fear, hence the fight or flight response. But it took another 500 million
years for true intelligence to evolve. Emotion is easy, intelligence is
hard.
