Críticas

"In Human Facial Expression, Alan Fridlund approaches the literature on facial expression like a Samurai in one of Kirosawa's glorious epics, slashing at conceptual giants such as Darwin and Ekman with poise and unquestionable courage ... Fridlund has collated a massive amount of data on the neurobiological and psychological mechanisms underlying emotional expression, in addition to providing several carefully developed hypotheses for the evolutionary origins and adaptive significance of such expressions ... The end product is a book that shows the extraordinary power of Darwinian thinking and emphasises the point that like the human eye, heart, and foot, psychological processes have also been shaped by natural selection" MARC HAUSER, Harvard University, Department of Anthropology
