For modern people, “kissing” may be a form of expressing love. Scientists find out the real purpose of kissing for ancient people. The origins are not so romantic!
According to the Daily Mail, “Adriano Lameira,” an evolutionary psychologist from the University of Warwick in the UK. Published a research paper in “Evolutionary Anthropology,” which is a story about tracking kissing behavior back millions of years ago.
It has been found that the purpose of lip-smacking and lightly sucking each other is for cleaning and hygiene, that is, removing parasites, hair, flakes, or dead skin from the body of another human being, suggesting that human ancestors were hairy, so they used their mouths to groom each other.
After our ancestors used this method of grooming each other, they ended up with mouth-to-mouth contact. As humans evolved and became less and less hairy, the time for grooming body hair ended. But eventually, they lived with mouth-to-mouth contact. So, in the end, the “kiss” survived, and became a ritual that our ancestors used to express intimacy.
However, other academic journals have published articles on this สมัคร ufabet subject in the past, with foreign scientists finding that “kissing” originated in the Middle East 4,500 years ago. At that time, kissing was considered a common interaction of romantic intimacy. In addition, according to ancient Mesopotamian texts, kissing was something that married couples did, but at the same time, it was also seen as a way to express desire for those who were not married for love.
