When this monograph was first published in 1872, there already
existed a good deal of thought on facial expression via the study
of physiognomy; this work, notes Charles Darwin (1809 82), was full
of 'surprising nonsense'. Setting aside the assumption of previous
studies that human facial muscles were created specifically for a
range of expressions unique to the species, Darwin sets out here to
make a systematic study of both human and animal expression. The
range of his research is extraordinarily wide: he not only
experimented on himself, but observed infants, consulted doctors in
psychiatric hospitals and sent out requests to missionaries and
travellers for first-hand notes on the expressions of aboriginal
peoples. Learned, meticulous and illustrated with an impressive
array of drawings, photographs and engravings, Darwin's work stands
as an important contribution to the study of human behaviour and
its origins.
