The text states that people born blind express core emotions using the same facial muscle movements as sighted people, suggesting these expressions are innate.
The evaluation of the claims related to facial expressions and emotions being innately expressed by blind individuals has been considered based on web evidence. For claim 1, evidence was insufficient to support that blind individuals use the exact muscle movements for expressing emotions as sighted individuals, highlighting a reliance on tactile methods by blind children. For claim 2, evidence suggests that facial expressions of emotions are innate, citing infant behaviors and evolutionary biology, supporting the claim.
