A landmark work in the history of science, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals presents Charles Darwin's pioneering argument that emotional expressions are biologically inherited and shared across species, not culturally learned. Originally published in 1872, this groundbreaking study chronicles Darwin's meticulous observations of facial expressions, gestures, and behaviours in humans and animals alike, drawing on photographs, anecdotes, and comparative anatomy to build his case. Darwin illustrates how emotions such as grief, joy, rage, and fear manifest in strikingly similar ways across mammals, directly supporting his broader theory of evolution and common descent. This edition includes a new introduction by Nobel laureate Konrad Lorenz, who situates Darwin's insights within the modern field of ethology and affirms the work's enduring relevance to psychology, biology, and the behavioural sciences. Authoritative, richly detailed, and surprisingly accessible, it remains an essential text for anyone seeking to understand the biological roots of human and animal behaviour.
