«The Expression of Emotion in Man and Animals» is the scientific essay by Charles Darwin, published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform in paperback (244 pages, in English).
Charles Darwin analyses the biological origin of human facial expressions and gestures, such as raising the eyebrows in surprise or blushing from mental confusion. He argues that these emotional manifestations are universal and have evolutionary roots shared with other species. A pioneering work for understanding evolutionary psychology.
Work originally published in 1872; this 2017 English edition collects Darwin's analysis of how emotions are communicated through physiology.
For those interested in evolutionary psychology, behavioral biology, and the history of science.
Charles Robert Darwin was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist, widely known for his contributions to evolutionary biology. His proposition that all species of life have descended from a common ancestor is now generally accepted and considered a fundamental scientific concept. In a joint presentation with Alfred Russel Wallace, he introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding. Darwin has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history and was honoured by burial in Westminster Abbey.
