5 pages in length.

Charles Darwin's "The Expression Of The Emotions In Man And Animals"
[ send me this essay ]
15 pages in length. First published in 1872, Charles Darwin's irrefutably greatest work -- The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals – brought to light a subsequently unprecedented declaration: Since both man and animal are derived from the same kingdom, there is no question that they also share in the ability – though not identical in nature – to express emotion. This astounding assertion was met with quite an array of reaction at the time, from disbelief to wonderment to disdain. Only after decades upon decades of anecdotal proof have scientists come to agree with Darwin's claim, rendering emotional display a very normal component of the entire animal world.
