What information can we learn from observing people? What do the same gestures mean in different cultures and what are the biological reasons for social conventions regarding facial expressions, gestures, touch, clothing?
What information can we learn from observing people? What do the same gestures mean in different cultures and what are the biological reasons for social conventions regarding facial expressions, gestures, touch, clothing? This book claims to explore absolutely every bodily signal developed by mankind throughout its history (and at the same time gives us information about the behavior of primates and sets out an aquatic version of the origin of man). It is unlikely that the reader will be able (and will want) to master all the «sub-languages» of non-verbal communication at once, but certain topics, facts, illustrations will certainly arouse curiosity.
