What is the difference between contempt and disgust?

I recently came across the 7 universal emotions in a lecture. Amost all of them are familiar to me with the exception of "contempt". Searched it up on google and got this definition: the feeling that a person or a thing is beneath consideration, worthless, or deserving scorn. To me, this also sounds like disgust which is another one of the 7. So what's the difference between the two?

Approach vs avoidance, as well as social vs. physical. We avoid disgusting things to keep us safe and healthy. Touching a dead body is gross because it can make us sick. Contempt involves approach because it is associated with feelings of aggression. Contempt is a inherently social, as it requires another party to exist.
