The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals
Charles Darwin
Book Overview:
The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals is a book by Charles Darwin, concerning genetically determined aspects of behavior. It was published thirteen years after On the Origin of Species and alongside his book The Descent of Man, it is Darwin's main consideration of human origins. In this book, Darwin seeks to trace the animal origins of human characteristics, such as the pursing of the lips in concentration and the tightening of the muscles around the eyes in anger and efforts of memory. Darwin sought out the opinions of some eminent British psychiatrists, notably James Crichton-Browne, in the preparation of the book which forms Darwin's main contribution to psychology.

Make sure you read the Paul Ekman-edited new version. Darwin, of course, is a genius, and this book seems so modern so as to be unimpressive for our era. It was ahead of its time in its cross-cultural analysis in Darwin's era, and even in the 60s Darwin's theories caused a scandal in the anthropolog
لم يعلم السيد داروين انه بملاحظاته الدقيقة هذه على الانواع المختلفة من الحيوانات و الحيوانات العليا( الإنسان) سعيا وراء التوسع فى اثبات نظريته عن النشوء و الارتقاء ، أنه بذلك من اوائل من وضعوا ملاحظات دقيقة عن الانفعالات البشرية و اسبابها و محاولة تتبع اصلها اذا كانت متوارثة من آباءنا او ظهرت من خلا
آااااه .. وأخيرا" انتهيت من تناول عشرة كيلوغرامات من الشحوم والدهون الثلاثية! ربما الكتاب ليس بهذه الدسامة لكنه أوائل الكتب العلمية الصرفة التي قرأتها مما دعاني لهذا الإحساس.
الكتاب يحتوي على نظريات تفسر إنحدار بعض التعبيرات عند الإنسان من الحيوانات الأقل رقيا"، كما يفسر منشأ أو أصول البعض الآخر استن
Under-appreciated historic classic and sadly, most updated textbook we have on the subject.

This book is more a historical document than a scientific paper, by today's requirements for scientific documents.
Darwing collects here his notes on the expressions of humans with a single chapter about animals and some referrences to monkeys, so the title is highly misleading (it annoyed me, anyway
Let me tell you how I got to this book.
You may already know the dictum of Jean Paul Sartre about animals as ‘animated things’, that is animals are moving things without emotions. This has revolted me always, but only recently I delved into this, subsequent to my encounter with a calf.
I have been ob
