Darwin's seminal work "contains studies of facial muscles and means of expression in man and mammals, emission of sounds, erection of hair, and so forth, and their correlation with suffering, sobbing, anxiety, grief, despair, joy, love, devotion, reflection, meditation, sulking, hatred, anger, pride, disdain, shame, surprise, fear, horror, acceptance (affirmation), and rejection (negation). With this book, Darwin founded the study of ethology (animal behaviour) and conveyance of information (communication theory) and made a major contribution to psychology."
