Yea. That‘s how it works for every healthy human.

I don’t think even Stone Age people would have assumed anything else without thinking about it.

It’s a cultural thing. Not a “healthy human” thing. We think that way because it’s a common knowledge now, and feels self evident. Google cardiocentric theory. Ancient Egyptians and ancient Greeks believed that the source of thought and emotion was the heart, and that it controls movement.
