面孔感知是人类社会交流的基础。只需看一眼面部，就可以提取关于个人的各种信息，包括他们的身份、情绪状态和注意力方向。神经心理学和功能磁共振成像实验显示，人脑中有一个复杂的专门区域网络，支持这些看脸技能。在这里，我们通过探索不同动物物种对面孔的看法和反应的方式，来考虑人类面孔感知的进化根源。我们专注于从灵长类和非灵长类动物收集的行为实验，评估动物能够从它们的同类、人类实验者和自然捕食者的脸上提取的信息类型。这些实验表明，在所有主要脊椎动物类群中，脸是动物视觉刺激的一个重要类别，这可能反映了脊椎动物进化中面孔神经专门化的早期出现。与此同时，面部感知的某些方面只在灵长类动物和其他几种社会性哺乳动物中才明显，因此可能已经进化到适合复杂的社会交流的需要。由于人类大脑可能利用原始和最近进化的神经专门化来处理面孔，比较研究可能掌握着理解这些平行回路是如何在人类进化过程中出现的关键。
Face perception serves as the basis for much of human social exchange. Diverse information can be extracted about an individual from a single glance at their face, including their identity, emotional state, and direction of attention. Neuropsychological and fMRI experiments reveal a complex network of specialized areas in the human brain supporting these face-reading skills. Here we consider the evolutionary roots of human face perception by exploring the manner in which different animal species view and respond to faces. We focus on behavioral experiments collected from both primates and non-primates, assessing the types of information that animals are able to extract from the faces of their conspecifics, human experimenters, and natural predators. These experiments reveal that faces are an important category of visual stimuli for animals in all major vertebrate taxa, possibly reflecting the early emergence of neural specialization for faces in vertebrate evolution. At the same time, some aspects of facial perception are only evident in primates and a few other social mammals, and may therefore have evolved to suit the needs of complex social communication. Since the human brain likely utilizes both primitive and recently evolved neural specializations for the processing of faces, comparative studies may hold the key to understanding how these parallel circuits emerged during human evolution.
