The Adventure of the Kiss From History to the Present
It is also believed that the kiss may have come from cavemen. Cavemen are thought to sniff each other’s faces in the dark to recognize family members. This gesture may have evolved into the modern act of kissing today.
Turns out our ancestors were more romantic than we thought. We always imagined them trying to hunt and eat animals, trying to find the fire. They were so busy with these things that we never thought that they would make time for romance. But they were able to spare time for love in their spare time, just like us.
Serra da Capivara -Brazil This picture found 20.000+ years ago is probably one of the strongest proofs of this.
The First Kiss in History
The first known kiss in history is thought to have been around 1500 BC.
According to some sources, the first known kissing-like behavior was recorded in Sanskrit documents from India around 1.500 BC. The documents did not include the word kissing, but the act was called ‘sniffing with the mouth’.
Discovered by Vaughn Bryant, a professor of anthropology at Texas A&M University, it is the earliest known work in writing about kissing. Known as the Vedas, these scriptures formed the basis of the religion of Hinduism.
Mankind Has Evolved Over Time and Said, “Why Shouldn’t We Do Better?”
Our ancestors would be proud of us if they saw the kissing methods we developed. Thousands of years have passed and human beings have started to look for ways to satisfy their spiritual needs after completing their basic needs. The kiss has always remained in the minds of people, as the best memory of two lovers.
In the 19th century, there were many societies that did not know what kissing was. English explorer William Winwood Reade’s book Wild Africa states that the explorer wanted to kiss a princess he fell in love with in Africa, but the princess was afraid of him and ran away. The princess thought that Reade was trying to eat her.
When it comes to kissing, we all have a kissing scene in our minds, either from our own experiences or from movies and photographs.
One of the first photographs that come to mind when talking about kissing in the evolution of kissing in human beings is the kiss on V-J day in 1945.
Many of you have seen this photo. The photo was taken by Life magazine photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt on the iconic V-J Day in Times Square in 1945. II. Greta Zimmer, the woman in this photograph that became the symbol of the end of World War II. As for the story of the photograph; Greta Zimmer Friedman, a dental assistant, was informed that the war in Japan was over on the morning of August 14, 1945, but she went to Times Square on her lunch break in her white uniform to make sure of it. The atmosphere there confirmed that World War II was over.
While Zimmer was looking around, he was caught and kissed by a navy sailor named George Mendonsa. George Mendonsa mistook Zimmer for a nurse, and he ran over to his girlfriend, grabbed Zimmer and kissed her aggressively. Zimmer struggled to repel the stranger, and that’s how they parted. But photographers Alfred Eisenstaedt and Victor Jorgensen, both unaware of it, captured this photo.
Zimmer, in an interview with the Library of Congress in 2005; “Kissing was not my choice. The man came, grabbed me and kissed me.” said.
Nowadays
While the boomer generation may be the best at kissing, these things aren’t all bad these days. A study conducted in 1970 revealed that 70 percent of societies in the world kiss. This rate has now approached 100 percent.
The average person spends 15 days kissing in their lifetime.
We even went so far in kissing that did you know that there are more than 100 types of kissing in the world and each of them expresses different emotions?
- French kiss … ( The most famous in the world! )
- Quick kiss. …
- Kiss on the cheek. …
- Lock kiss…
- Angel kiss…
- Nose kiss… just a few of them.
During kissing, our body releases hormones such as endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline, and oxytocin, and we feel much better and happier.
Kissing is a wonderful thing. We should never miss an opportunity for something so wonderful.
As the people of the 21st century, it is our duty to convey this wonderful tradition inherited from our ancestors to the next generations in the best way possible…

P.S. I would love to know your perspective on life. I would like to state that I value your comments very much to benefit from the experiences of people outside of my own life. I believe that sometimes it is more memorable to learn from real people rather than from books.
Thank you.
