(There are six core emotions: happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust, but human Faces Can express21 distinct emotions, combining emotions, such as happily surprised or sadly angry.
the wrinkled nose: fear and disgust
widened eyes: fear and surprise
I'm sure my face has shown more than 21 expressions just in the time it took me to write this. Perhaps they didn't count the tongue sticking out of the side of the mouth to help concentration as an expression.)
