Reply to comment by IAmXlxx in ELI5 Are facial expressions and reactions like laughing learned, or do all humans do it? by David1192
Came here to mention Ekman. I do CG facial animation for a living, and his work is one of the bibles of the craft. As a side effect, you learn too much about facial features and expressions, and you can read people through micro-expressions and subconscious communications which is a double edged sword. It's pretty dumbed down, but the show "Lie to Me" shows a lot of this.
