1873 Charles DARWIN 1ed Expression of Emotions in Man & Animal EVOLUTION Science
“The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals” by Charles Darwin is a groundbreaking work in the fields of ethology, psychology, and communication theory, exploring the physical manifestations of emotions in humans and other mammals. Darwin meticulously examined facial muscles, vocal expressions, and other forms of non-verbal communication, correlating them with a wide array of emotions ranging from love, joy, and devotion to anger, fear, and surprise. He posited that these expressive actions are innate or inherited, challenging the notion that human facial expressions are uniquely endowed. This work represents a significant contribution to understanding animal behavior and the conveyance of emotional states, laying the foundation for future studies in these disciplines. Through his comprehensive analysis, Darwin establishes the universality of emotional expression across species, cementing this as a foundational text in the evolutionary sciences.
Notably, the book is enriched with numerous photographs, featuring images from photographer Oscar Rejlander, making it Darwins first work to utilize heliotype plates and one of the earliest integrations of photography in scientific publications.

“The Expression of the Emotions is an important member of the evolutionary set, and it was written, in part at least, as a confutation of the idea that the facial muscles of expression in man were a special endowment… [Darwin concluded that] the chief expressive actions exhibited by man and by the lower animals are now innate or inherited.” (Freeman)

“Darwin examined the causes, physiological and psychological, of all the fundamental emotions in man and animals. He concluded that the chief expressive actions exhibited by man and by the lower animals are now innate or inherited, and that most of the movements of expression must have been gradually acquired.” (Garrison and Morton)
