提出了一种系统发育的方法来焦虑。人类焦虑的不同方面和他们的存在在不同层次的门检查。所有的生物，包括单细胞的原生动物，都能对危险表现出特殊的反应。昆虫中完全存在能够评估有害刺激的机制。在高等无脊椎动物中，恐惧与特定的生理反应有关。在哺乳动物中，焦虑伴随着特定的认知反应。在高等脊椎动物中，情感的表达是多样化的，只有灵长类动物会显示面部表情。最后，自主意识，人类焦虑的一个基本特征，只出现在类人猿身上。这种进化的特征与支持它的物流系统的复杂性的进步是平行的。例如，在一个实施例中，植物和中枢神经系统）。评估一个人的应对潜力的能力，焦虑反应的多样化，和自主意识似乎在系统发育的角度相关的标志。
A phylogenetic approach to anxiety is proposed. The different facets of human anxiety and their presence at different levels of the phylum are examined. All organisms, including unicellular such as protozoan, can display a specific reaction to danger. The mechanisms enabling the appraisal of harmful stimuli are fully present in insects. In higher invertebrates, fear is associated with a specific physiological response. In mammals, anxiety is accompanied by specific cognitive responses. The expression of emotions diversifies in higher vertebrates, only primates displaying facial expressions. Finally, autonoetic consciousness, a feature essential for human anxiety, appears only in great apes. This evolutive feature parallels the progress in the complexity of the logistic systems supporting it ( e. g., the vegetative and central nervous systems). The ability to assess one's coping potential, the diversification of the anxiety responses, and autonoetic consciousness seem relevant markers in a phylogenetic perspective.
