From Wired:

Our Social Nature: The Surprising Science of Smiles: The new book Lip Service: Smiles in Life, Death, Trust, Lies, Work, Memory, Sex, and Politics, published Aug. 8, explores the nuances and effects of an expression we use often, but rarely think about. Wired.com spoke with author Marianne LaFrance, an experimental psychologist at Yale University, about why we smile, how we do it and the rise of the emoticon.
