"The second voyage of HMS Beagle from 27 December 1831 to 2 October 1836 was the second survey expedition of HMS Beagle made under her newest commander Robert FitzRoy. FitzRoy had thought of the advantages of having someone onboard who could investigate geology and sought a naturalist to accompany them as a supernumerary. At the age of 22 the graduate Charles Darwin hoped to see the tropics before becoming a parson and accepted the opportunity. He was greatly influenced by reading Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology the book is dedicated to Lyell during the voyage. By the end of the expedition Darwin had made his name as a geologist and fossil collector and the publication of his journal later known as The Voyage of the Beagle gave him wide renown as a writer." from Wikipedia.

In animals he believed expressions were a part of their purposeful action and not connected to emotion. Humans however were very emotional. He examines reactions and expressions in human subjects to different stimuli like "low spirits" of grief and anxiety and "high spirits" like love. Though for Darwin the most intriguing and peculiar reaction to emotion was blushing. So much so that he dedicates an entire chapter to it and comes to the conclusion "It appears that the mental powers of infants are not as yet sufficiently developed to allow of their blushing. Hence also it is that idiots rarely blush. D. Appleton and Company unknown
