Abstract
Charles Darwin's The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872) theorizes expressions as biological signs based on the physiological signifier's arbitrary nature as an outcome of natural selection. Darwin's biosemiotic thinking in advance of Saussurian linguistics produces a correlated reading of race as a biologically incoherent sign. While Darwin's methodological modernism remains implicit in his writings, the Darwinian biosemiotics that emerges in Expression offers a promising means to bridge the natural and human sciences.
