DARWIN'S BOOK, 
THE EXPRESSION OF EMOTION IN MAN
AND ANIMALS, 
1872, 
I THINK, 
REALLY STARTED PSYCHOLOGY.
IT WAS A PSYCHOLOGY BOOK. 
PEOPLE GIVE WUNDT CREDIT, 
BUT WUNDT WAS, 
I THINK, 
1895. 
AND WUNDT WAS IMPORTANT;
I DON'T WANT TO DOWNPLAY HIM.
BUT DARWIN'S THESIS WAS A
RADICAL THESIS AT THE TIME. 
ONE WAS THAT WE SHARE EMOTIONS
WITH OTHER ANIMALS,  
BUT IF YOU BELIEVE THAT, 
IT RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW
YOU TREAT OTHER ANIMALS. 
NOT JUST ABOUT EATING, 
BUT EXPERIMENTING, 
PUTTING THEM IN ZOOS, 
ETCETERA. 
AND THAT IT IS SHARED WITH ALL
HUMAN BEINGS. 
I MEAN, 
HE POINTED OUT THAT HE WAS
DIRECTLY CHALLENGING THE RACES
OF HIS TIME WHO SAID THAT THE 
EUROPEANS WERE DESCENDED FROM
MORE ADVANCED PROGENITOR 
THAN THE AFRICANS. 
AND DARWIN SAID NO, 
WE ALL HAVE THE SAME
EXPRESSIONS. 
BUT IF, 
OF COURSE, 
WE ARE ALL DESCENDED FROM ADAM
AND EVE, 
WE WOULD ALL HAVE THE SAME
EXPRESSIONS, 
SO IT REALLY ISN'T PROOF OF THE
THEORY OF EVOLUTION. 
BUT IT DREW OUR ATTENTION TO
EMOTION, 
WHICH HE NEVER DEFINED, 
BUT HE DESCRIBED AND WITH A 
LOT OF INSIGHT. 
HE DREW OUR ATTENTION TO THE USE
OF A COMPARATIVE 
PERSPECTIVE,
THAT IS, 
LOOKING ACROSS SPECIES, 
NOT JUST AT HUMANS AND TO 
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FACE. 
AND HE ONLY HAS TWO SENTENCES
ABOUT DECEPTION. 
HE LEFT DECEPTION FOR ME. 
I WROTE A 40-PAGE ARTICLE CALLED
DARWIN, 
DECEPTION AND EXPRESSION
BUILDING ON THOSE TWO SENTENCES 
AND SORT OF ELABORATING ON ALL
THE THINGS THAT HE HAD SORT OF
NOT REALLY TALKED ABOUT. 
MANY OF THE IDEAS I'VE
ELABORATED THEORETICALLY.
DARWIN WAS NOT REALLY CONCERNED
WITH HOW EMOTIONS BEGIN. 
OF MY WORK,
WHICH IS RECENT WORK, 
HE WASN'T CONCERNED WITH. 
HE WAS CONCERNED WITH THE
PHYSIOLOGY OF EMOTION AND 
WE'VE GOTTEN EVIDENCE THAT
SUPPORTS A LOT OF WHAT HE SAID. 
HE WAS VERY CONCERNED WHAT
EMOTIONS LOOK LIKE AND MOST 
OF THAT WAS RIGHT. 
HE WAS VERY INTERESTED IN A
QUESTION THAT ALMOST NO 
ONE HAS EVER ASKED SINCE. 
I THINK I'M ONE OF THE ONLY ONES
WHO HAVE ASKED IT 
SINCE, 
WHICH IS WHY DO WE HAVE THE  
PARTICULAR EXPRESSION WE DO FOR
AN EMOTION?
WHY DON'T THE LIP CORNERS GO
DOWN IN SMILING RATHER THAN UP?
WHY ARE THE BROWS LOWERED IN
ANGER AND RAISED AT SURPRISE? 
IT'S A VERY INTERESTING QUESTION
AND HE TRIED TO COME 
UP WITH ANSWERS, 
MOST OF WHICH ARE WRONG, 
BUT AT LEAST, 
IT'S INTERESTING ATTEMPT.
SO THERE IS ANOTHER WHOLE, 
I MEAN, 
HE'S SUCH AN INTERESTING
THINKER. 
I HAD A DREAM AND JUST ONE
DREAM, 
BUT IT WAS A DREAM IN WHICH WE
HAD A LONG CONVERSATION 
AND HE SAID TO ME HE WAS SO GLAD
THAT I WAS DOING THIS NEW BOOK. 
COULD I PUT IN A LONG
INTRODUCTION AND I PUT 116 
COMMENTARIES IN HIS TEXT,
CONVERSING WITH HIM IN WHAT 
MODERN THINGS SHOWED IN RELATION
TO WHAT HE HAD FORECAST. 
BUT AT THAT POINT, 
I HAD A 120 PAGE AFTERWARD AND
HE SAID TO ME DON'T YOU THINK
120 PAGES IS TOO LONG? 
YOU SHOULD PUT THAT IN YOUR OWN
BOOK, 
NOT IN MINE.
SO I CUT IT TO 50 PAGES.
