These consist
in hiding the face, or turning it towards the ground, or to one side.
The eyes are generally averted or are restless, for to look at the man
who causes us to feel shame or shyness, immediately brings home in an
intolerable manner the consciousness that his gaze is directed on us.
Through the principle of associated habit, the same movements of the face
and eyes are practised, and can, indeed, hardly be avoided, whenever we
know or believe that, others are blaming, or too strongly praising,
our moral conduct. CHAPTER XIV.
CONCLUDING REMARKS AND SUMMARY.
The three leading principles which have determined the chief movements
of expression--Their inheritance--On the part which the will and
intention have played in the acquirement of various expressions--
The instinctive recognition of expression--The bearing of our
subject on the specific unity of the races of man--On the successive
acquirement of various expressions by the progenitors of man--
The importance of expression--Conclusion.
I HAVE now described, to the best of my ability, the chief
expressive actions in man, and in some few of the lower animals.
I have also attempted to explain the origin or development of these
actions through the three principles given in the first chapter.
