Publisher's Synopsis
The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals is a book written by Charles Darwin, the renowned naturalist and evolutionary theorist, that explores the ways in which emotions are expressed and perceived in humans and animals. Published in 1872, the book is divided into three parts, with the first part examining the general principles of emotional expression, the second part focusing on specific emotions such as fear, anger, and joy, and the third part discussing the evolution of emotional expression in humans and animals. Darwin draws on a wide range of sources, including his own observations of animals and humans, as well as the work of other scientists and philosophers. The book is notable for its detailed descriptions of facial expressions, body language, and vocalizations associated with different emotions, as well as its insights into the adaptive value of emotional expression in social interactions. Although some of Darwin's ideas have been challenged or revised in light of more recent research, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals remains a landmark work in the history of psychology and the study of emotions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
