Darwin's i d
Charles Darwin' s The Expressions of the Emotions in Man and Animals was a landmark work which is still used as a source.[2] The following list is taken from the chapter-headings in the book.
- Suffering and weeping
- Low spirits, anxiety, grief, dejection, despair
- Joy, high spirited love, tender feelings, devotion
- Reflection, meditation, ill-temper, sulkiness, determination
- Hatred and anger
- Disdain, contempt, disgust, guilt, pride, helplessness, patience, affirmation and negation
- Surprise,astonishment, fear, horror
- Self-attention, shame, shyness, modesty, blushing
The book is famous as being the first scientific book which used photographs as a major part of the evidence. Emotions, Darwin believed these were behaviour traits which evolved. He pointed out how the human face listed to show man of these emotions: it has muscles for facial movements which are not possible in other mammals. On the other hand, other mammals do have ways of showing many of these emotions.
Ekman has taken this idea a step further by studying the way people try to hide their emotions. He filmed the tell-tale glimpses of brief moments when true emotion is shown on a person's face.[3]
