Here's The Real Reason Why We Kiss
Sep 16 2020
There are good kisses and bad kisses. But, while we're busy getting close to others, not many of us have stopped to question why we even engage in this kissing business at all. Why is it that humans have resorted to mouth-to-mouth contact? Here's what's up.
Kissing- at least as we now know it- is pretty new. Rafael Wlodarski, a behavioral data scientist at the University of Oxford in England, confirmed it with BBC Earth. He should know, as he studies philematology, which is the science of kissing.
So, how new? Well, "new" in the grand scheme of things. Researchers discovered proof that people were doing something like modern-day kissing some 3,500 years ago. According to the publication, Hindu Vedic Sanskrit texts described the form of kissing as "inhaling each other's soul." Intense.
In fact, even the word "kiss" comes from India. Vaughn Bryant, an anthropologist who studies the science of kissing at Texas A&M University, explained to The Wall Street Journal that the root of the English word "kiss" is derived from the word "kus," which was used in India. The first kiss may very well have taken place in this southern Asian country. Keep watching see The Real Reason Why We Kiss!
