Greeting is almost the only custom that has survived to this day. Since ancient times, people have welcomed the oncoming one, thereby expressing their location and good attitude. The most standard greeting now is a handshake, but the history of its origins lies in the distant past. Our distant ancestors also had a very peculiar “original greeting”. When they lived in caves, wore clothes from animal skins, obtained their food with the help of primitive weapons, then the custom of greeting arose. Met people to prove to each other a peaceful attitude, examined the traveler. Then they extended the hand forward, palm up, in order to show that the hand is empty, and the stone is not clamped in it. Sitting down next to each, he examined and probed the palm of his fellow's right hand to make sure that danger was not emanating from him.
