Greeting is almost the only custom that has survived to this day. Since ancient times, people have greeted the oncoming one, thereby expressing their disposition 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 made of animal skins, got their own food with the help of primitive weapons, then the custom of greeting was born. The people who met, in order to prove to each other a peaceful attitude, examined the traveler. Then they stretched their hand forward with the palm up, in order to show that the hand is empty, and there is no stone clamped in it. Sitting next to each other, each examined and felt the palm of his brother's right hand to make sure that he was not in danger.
