I've been wondering, why do people hug and kiss each other? What started this "tradition", this "sign of affection"?

Back when humans lived in caves or garden of eden. It is a way to show affection, unspoken affection, appreciation, admiration, thankfulness, acceptance nonverbally.

People feel comfort when loved ones touch them. It is a security thing...like an arm around your back in a scary movie.
Kissing and hugging is just an extension of this need to touch.

People need people.....hugging feels good and gives off endorphins which makes you feel good.

Someone tried it, and it fell good, then everyone started doing it!
