Why do dogs wag their tails? Or cats purr? Why do we get embarrassed, and why does embarrassment make us blush? These, and many other questions about the emotional life of man and animals are answered in this remarkable book. The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals was an immediate best~seller when it was first published in 1872 and still provides the point of departure for research, into emotion and facial expression. In his study of infants and children (including a delightfully objective study of his own baby's smiles and pouts), of the insane, of painting and sculpture, of cats and dogs and monkeys, and of the ways that people in different cultures express their feelings, Darwin's insights have not been improved upon by modern science. This definitive edition contains a substantial new Introduction and Afterword by Paul Ekman. Ekman also provides commentaries that use the latest scientific knowledge to elaborate, support and occasionally challenge Darwin's insights. When it was originally published, The Expression was the first scientific book in English to contain photographic repreductions: for this edition, Ekman has returned to Darwin's original notes in order to produce, for the first time, a corrected, authoritative text illustrated by drawings and photographs positioned exactly as its author intended. He also includes new illustrations that Darwin discussed, but which have never appeared in previous editions. The book reminds us that, in addition to being the nineteenth century's most influential thinker, Darwin was also a writer of consummate skill. Beautifully and profusely illustrated, this new edition promises to delight and enthral a new generation of readers. CHARLES DARWIN was born in Shrewsbury in 1809, the son of a doctor, and grandson of both Erasmus Darwin and of the industrialist Josiah Wedgwood. He entered Edinburgh University in 1825, where he studied medicine before transferring, in 1827, to Christ's College, Cambridge. In 1831, Darwin embarked on the Beagle, bound for South America. He returned in 1836, and in 1839 published his Journal of Researches into the Geology and Natural History of the various countries visited by H. M. S. Beagle. His great work, On the Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection, was published on 24 November 1859. It was an immediate success: the first edition of 1,250 copies sold out the same day. In The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex (1871 ), Darwin laid out his theory of sexual selection, arguing that human beings had evolved from higher primates. A year later, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals was published. There then followed The Effects of Cross and Self Fertilization in the Vegetable Kingdom (1876) and The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms (1881 ). He died in 1882 from a heart attack and was buried in Westminster Abbey.
