Research comparing facial movements between congenitally blind and sighted people aims to determine whether emotional expressions are biologically innate or learned through observation.

Critics argue that the basic emotion approach lacks scientific evidence connecting specific facial expressions to discrete emotions, highlighting the complexity of human affect.

Darwin's work laid the groundwork for understanding emotional expressions as evolutionary phenomena, influencing later researchers like Paul Ekman to explore the universality of emotions.
