Complex emotion is impossible without a high level of intelligence because the "complex" part is dependent on self awareness or even more abstract thinking (object permanence, cause effect, etc)

So splitting hairs about complex emotion is redundant. Any emotional complexity is dependent to a high degree on intelligence, bringing the discussion back to neuroconnectivity

I do wonder about how they define it.. psych is a fuckin mess. It's not a study on neurological-jealousy that I can see (brain wants what someone else has).

From reading the article, they are defining jealousy as:

"being upset with romantic partner b/c of their relationship with another person"

Or something like that. Which is super dumb. You can be pissed at your spouse or their paramour without being "jealous"
