Question 2

A student reads that Darwin (1872) believed facial expressions are innate and universal. She then learns that Yuki et al. (2007) found that Japanese participants focused more on the eyes and American participants focused more on the mouth when judging emotion.

Evaluate Yuki et al. (2007) as evidence that the way people read facial expressions is learned. You must refer to the context and consider Darwin's (1872) theory of evolution in your answer.
