Yes Or No

[alice29]

The reason why we nod our heads for “yes” and shake it for “no” was first explained by Charles Darwin. He related the gestures to a baby’s nursing habits. The nod, the forward head motion, is the breast-seeking pattern. Shaking the head from side to side – gesturing “no” – is a breast-rejecting motion. This is confirmed by the fact that a baby born deaf and blind will nod for yes and shake its head for no.

I really wondered how this happend? who invented that on whatever ways. But it seems that it is a general gesture that every people in the world do it. So it is some what instinctive. Now I know where is come from.

[alice29]

but that's not really apply to all, there are people in a certain countries that do the opposite, i guess in Bulgaria. B) which is really confusing. B)

[pjbabia]

how did you know that? did you make some research about it? it is indeed confusing for us to know how this happen. it must be cultural so that there are other countries that do not apply to this, perhaps.

[alice29]

yes, i did some research on it and you are right it's kind of cultural why they're doing it. it was a way of fooling their enemies before. :wacko:

I don't ever know this fact until there is person who shared in here. I think that is natural reaction from people to do that action.

[alice29]

well that only shows that there's really a reason for everything that's happening in the world, we just have to find that out. :biggrin: i was suprised too that's this natural reaction of humans have a story. :smile:

[neng]

that is really informative and i find it amusing who would have thought that we get that idea from a baby

[Andry]

@alice

Yes, I don't know if there is research about that. I didn't know about that natural reaction, I think that's called instinct

[neng]

still we are not aware of that story and it is nice that they shared it here, i told my friend about this story the minute i finished reading it

[Andry]

@neng

Actually, I still didn't too much people who knew that story. That's good if you can share it to your friends.

[neng]

i already did andry and my friends were amused when i told them about story as they are not also aware of that

[alice29]

@ neng, we got the idea from a baby because he/she doesn't speak yet. so the emotions are best to see in their actions. :smile: i'm glad sharing informations to people who doesn't know about it yet. :biggrin:

@neng

That was okay if you don't have anything to share now but at least you can share us something that you got later. That will be nice to talk about that in here :)
