Octavo 8" x 5 1/4 bound in original publisher's red cloth with gilt lettering to spine and ruled in black with design to cover. DSB Freeman 1143. cf Garrison & Morton 4975 First American edition. The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals is Charles Darwin's third major work of evolutionary theory following On The Origin of Species1859 and The Descent of Man 1871. Originally intended as a section of The Descent of Man it was published separately in 1872 and concerns the biological aspects of emotional life. In this book Darwin sets out some early concepts of behavioral genetics and explores the origins of such human characteristics as the lifting of the eyebrows in moments of surprise and the mental confusion which typically accompanies blushing. A German translation of The Expression appeared in 1872; Dutch and French translations followed in 1873 and 1874. A second edition of the book was published in 1890. Before Darwin human emotional life had posed problems to the traditional philosophical categories of mind and body. Darwin's biological approach links mental states to the neurological organization of movement and he allows cultural factors only an auxiliary role in the shaping of expression. Darwin's interest can be traced to his time as a medical student and the 1824 publication of Sir Charles Bell's Anatomy and Philosophy of Expression which argued for a spiritual dimension to the subject. Darwin sought out the opinions of some leading British psychiatrists notably James Crichton-Browne in the preparation of the book which forms his main contribution to psychology. Amongst the innovations with this book are Darwin's circulation of a questionnaire probably inspired by his cousin Francis Galton in his preparatory research; simple psychology experiments on emotional recognition with his friends and family; and borrowing from Duchenne de Boulogne a physician at the Salpêtrière the use of photographs in his presentation of scientific information. The Expression of the Emotions is an important landmark in the history of book illustration.

SOBRE A OBRA Obra rara. Publicada em 1868 esta é uma das mais extensas obras de Darwin. Fundamental para a compreensão da teoria da seleção natural de Darwin. Representa um prolongamento significativo da seminal «On the Origin of Species» A Origem das Espécies de 1859 oferecendo uma visão aprofundada das teorias de Darwin acerca dos mecanismos subjacentes à variação entre indivíduos de uma espécie sob domesticação. Trata-se da expansão dos primeiros dois capítulos da Origem constituindo aliás a única secção publicada do projetado «grande livro» de Darwin sobre a origem das espécies do qual a Origem seria apenas um resumo. É especialmente notável pela teoria sobre hereditariedade hoje posta de lado que Darwin designou por pangenesis pangénese. A obra é também citada como a primeira em que Darwin inclui a frase «survival of the fittest» sobrevivência do mais apto cunhada pelo filósofo e sociólogo Herbert Spencer ao ler a Origem que teria terríveis usos durante o século XX servindo de suporte a ideologias racistas ao Holocausto e a muitas guerras e abusos contra os direitos humanos. Ao examinar as práticas de seleção artificial na origem de novas raças de animais e variedades de plantas Darwin elucida como estes mesmos princípios se aplicam na natureza moldando a evolução das espécies ao longo do tempo; ou seja clarifica a noção de seleção natural através da descrição da prática da reprodução selectiva. Nestes dois volumes são abordados os avanços numa série de espécies de culturas arvenses hortícolas pecuárias e de animais domesticados especialmente pombos; os efeitos benéficos do cruzamento e os efeitos adversos da consanguinidade estreita. Além disso Darwin desenvolveu a sua hipótese da pangénese para preencher a lacuna que justificava a forma como a variabilidade era herdada. A pangénese foi o mecanismo hipotético de Charles Darwin para a hereditariedade no qual ele propôs que cada parte do corpo emitia continuamente o seu próprio tipo de pequenas partículas orgânicas chamadas gémulas que são depois transmitidas aos órgãos reprodutores e passadas aos descendentes. Através deste mecanismo as variações adquiridas pelos indivíduos durante a sua vida poderiam ser herdadas pelas gerações seguintes contribuindo para a diversidade de características numa população. Da pangénese só ficou por dela provir o étimo do termo gene pois foi completamente posta de lado pela Genética Mendeliana assim designada a partir do apelido do seu genial descobridor Gregor Mendel frade da Ordem de Santo Agostinho que forma a base principal da genética clássica. No final do livro Darwin contesta diretamente os argumentos apresentados contra as suas teorias de variabilidade por diversos sectores em especial a Igreja Anglicana sugerindo que a seleção natural ou a ação humana e não uma intervenção divina moldam as formas de vida. Atualmente vários avanços da genética como a mutação artificial a poliploidia a adaptação e os marcadores genéticos ampliaram a disciplina com conceitos e questões cujas sementes se encontram nas palavras originais de Darwin. Assiste-se a um florescimento da investigação genómica sobre o próprio processo de domesticação sendo muito curioso notar como a nossa visão da diversidade doméstica contrasta com a dos escritos de Darwin. Este sublinhava a abundância da diversidade e o poder diversificador da seleção artificial ao passo que hoje em dia estamos preocupados com a diminuição da diversidade genética que acompanha a agricultura moderna. Charles Robert Darwin Shrewsbury 1809 Downe 1882 foi um naturalista inglês famoso pela sua teoria da evolução através da seleção natural. Desde cedo demonstrou interesse pela história natural. Depois de se formar em Teologia na Universidade de Cambridge embarcou numa jornada épica a bordo do HMS Beagle onde recolheu uma vasta gama de espécimes e observações que influenciaram profundamente o seu pensamento. Publicou a sua obra muito célebre «A Origem das Espécies» em 1859 onde propôs que todas as espécies de seres vivos descendem de ancestrais comuns e que a seleção natural é o mecanismo primário responsável pela evolução das espécies ao longo do tempo. A teoria de Darwin teve um impacto revolucionário não só no campo da biologia mas também nas ciências humanas desafiando conceções prevalecentes sobre a origem e a diversidade da vida na Terra. Além das suas contribuições científicas Darwin era também um escritor e correspondente prolífico. O seu trabalho continua a ser estudado e debatido até aos dias de hoje estabelecendo o seu lugar como um dos pensadores mais influentes da história da ciência.

ABOUT THE WORK Rare work. Published in 1868 this is one of Darwin's most extensive works. Fundamental to understanding Darwin's theory of natural selection. Represents a significant prolongation of the seminal «On the Origin of Species»from 1859 offering an in-depth look at Darwin's theories about the mechanisms underlying variation between individuals of a species under domestication. It is an expansion of the first two chapters of On the Origin was in fact the only published section of Darwin's projected "great book" on the origin of species of which the On the Origin was only a summary. It is especially notable for the theory of heredity today set aside that Darwin called pangenesis. The work is also cited as the first in which Darwin includes the phrase " of the fittest" made famous by the philosopher and sociologist Herbert Spencer when he read the On the Origin which would have terrible uses during the 20th century serving as support for racist ideologies the Holocaust and many wars and abuses against human rights. By examining the practices of artificial selection in the origin of new breeds of animals and varieties of plants Darwin elucidates how these same principles apply in nature moulding the evolution of species over time; in other words he clarifies the notion of natural selection by describing the practice of selective breeding. In these two volumes advances in a range of arable horticultural livestock and domesticated animal species especially pigeons are discussed; the beneficial effects of cross-breeding and the adverse effects of close inbreeding. In addition Darwin developed his hypothesis of pangenesis to fill the gap in justifying how variability was inherited. Pangenesis was Charles Darwin's hypothesised mechanism for heredity in which he proposed that each part of the body continuously emitted its own type of small organic particles called Gemmule which are then transmitted to the reproductive organs and passed on to the offspring. Through this mechanism variations acquired by individuals during their lifetime could be inherited by subsequent generations contributing to the diversity of characteristics in a population. Only the term gene was left over from pangenesis since it was completely set aside by Mendelian Genetics named after the surname of its brilliant discoverer Gregor Mendel a friar of the Order of St Augustine which forms the main basis of classical genetics. At the end of the book Darwin directly contests the arguments put forward against his theories of variability by various sectors in particular the Anglican Church suggesting that natural selection or human action rather than divine intervention moulds life forms. Today various advances in genetics such as artificial mutation polyploidy adaptation and genetic markers have expanded the discipline with concepts and questions the seeds of which can be found in Darwin's original words. Genomic research into the domestication process itself is flourishing and it is very curious to note how our view of domestic diversity contrasts with Darwin's writings. He emphasised the abundance of diversity and the diversifying power of artificial selection whereas today we are concerned about the decrease in genetic diversity that accompanies modern agriculture. Charles Robert Darwin Shrewsbury 1809 - Downe 1882 was an English naturalist famous for his theory of evolution through natural selection. From an early age he showed an interest in natural history. After graduating in Theology from Cambridge University he embarked on an epic voyage aboard the HMS Beagle where he collected a vast array of specimens and observations that profoundly influenced his thinking. He published his very famous work "The Origin of Species" in 1859 where he proposed that all species of living beings descend from common ancestors and that natural selection is the primary mechanism responsible for the evolution of species over time. Darwin's theory had a revolutionary impact not only in the field of biology but also in the human sciences challenging prevailing conceptions about the origin and diversity of life on Earth. In addition to his scientific contributions Darwin was also a prolific writer and correspondent. His work continues to be studied and debated to this day establishing his place as one of the most influential thinkers in the history of science. Referências/References: Freeman 877 878 878b.
