The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals

Meer over het boek

Charles Darwin's examination of human and animal emotions explores the evolution of facial expressions as indicators of feelings. He investigates specific expressions, such as surprise and blushing, and finds similarities with primates, suggesting these emotions are universal rather than culturally influenced. This work addresses the longstanding debate of nature versus nurture in human behavior, supporting the idea of a common origin for all humans. The fully annotated and illustrated edition enhances the original text, printed on premium acid-free paper.
