Believe it or not it was Charles Darwin who was one of the first to examine our smile. He noted that smiling is universal communication physical actions such as body language or verbal communication which differs from culture to culture.  So its difficult to understand but everyone can feel the smile and the language behind that. He also distinguished smiling from laughter. Basically laughter was connected more with amusement whereas the smile was a greater sign of happiness and it’s true we smile because we’re happy and it conveys the emotions of joy to others.

Scientists linked emotions which changes occurring  in the body, from an elevated heart rate to flexion of the zygomatic major muscle which is known as facial feedback hypothesis. Our brains react to what our body  is doing and it can have a affect to our emotions. If we put on a smile whether we’re genuinely happy or not our brains will interpret it as happiness and our mood will change accordingly. Smiles can be natural when we’re in a good mood. Or faked when we’re not.
