In his research for Expression of the emotions in man and animals, Darwin approached friends, relatives, and correspondents for information. He had a questionnaire printed that his correspondents could send further afield, since he was interested in human expression around the world. Mothers in particular were asked for information about expression in infants. Often the responses to Darwin's questions are now as interesting for the light they shed on race, class, and the respondents’ lives as for the subjects in which Darwin was principally interested.
