Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The expression of emotions in man and animals is the third great work of evolutionary theory by Charles Darwin, following The Origin of Species (1859) and The Descent of Man (1871). Initially intended as a chapter in The Descent of Man, The Expression grew in length and was published separately in 1872. This book addresses the biological aspects of emotional life, and Darwin explores the animal origins of human characteristics such as raising the eyebrows moments of surprise and the mental confusion that usually accompanies the blush. A German translation of the expression appeared in 1872; The Dutch and French versions followed in 1873 and 1874. A second edition of the book, with only minor modifications, was published in 1890.Since its first publication, The Expression has never been sold out, but has also been described as "Darwin's forgotten masterpiece". Before Darwin, human emotional life had posed problems to the western philosophical categories of mind and body. Darwin's interest dates back to his time as a medical student and the 1824 reprint of Anatomy and Philosophy of Expression by Sir Charles Bell, who advocated a spiritual dimension to the subject.
