Description

Over billions of years of evolution animals have become increasingly sophisticated and increasingly sentient In the process they evolved emotions which helped improve their odds of survival in complex situations These emotions were at first purely internal But at some point social animals began expressing their emotions in increasingly dramatic ways These emotional expressions could accurately reflect internal emotions smiling to express happinessor they could be quite different smiling to cover up that youre actually furious but cant tell your boss that

Why did oncestonefaced animals evolve to be so emotionally expressiveto be us The answer as evolutionary neurobiologist Mark Changizi and mathematician Tim Barber reveal is that emotional expressions are our first and most important languageone that allows us as social animals to engage in highly sophisticated communications and negotiations

Expressly Human introduces an original theory that explains from first principles how the broad range of emotional expressions evolved and provides a Rosetta Stone for human communication It will revolutionize the way you see every social interaction from deciding who gets the last slice of pizza to multimilliondollar business negotiations and change your definition of what makes us human
