who invented the kiss?

Answer 1

Although it is impossible to pinpoint exactly when our ancestors kissed for the first time, anthropologists have found ancient artifacts from India, dating back to 1500 B.C., that document kissing. Some anthropologists claim kissing’s origins can be traced back to a primitive era when mothers chewed food and placed it directly into the baby’s mouth. Other anthropologists say various cultures believed uniting the mouths symbolized a deep fusion between two souls.

The Metamorphosis
As the years progressed and cultures became more refined, kissing’s complexity increased:

* Ancient Romans kissed sacred items and statues to indicate respect.
* In feudal times, kissing symbolized sealing a deal. For example, when a vassal was bound to the overlord, he knelt before his feudal lord and awaited a kiss to signify his servitude.
* In the 6th century, France was first to accept kissing in courtship. To convey mutual affection, each dance closed with a kiss.

Ooh la la! – The “French” Kiss
Most people incorrectly assume the term “French kiss” originated in France. Actually, the term entered the English language in 1923 as a slur on the French culture (which was then deemed infatuated with sexual matters). In the French language, there is no such thing as a “French kiss” – the French prefer to call it a “tongue kiss” or “soul kissing.”

Smooching Culture

* The Japanese have always been extremely bashful about kissing, as puckering up in public is considered taboo
* On the other hand, many Southern Europeans have a more liberal attitude toward sex, making PDAs (personal displays of affection) an acceptable practice
* In Belgium, respecting your elders is a primary concern during greetings. When someone is 10 years your senior, it is commonly-accepted to bestow them with three kisses

Bizarre Global Kissing Trends

* Avoid heavy makeup in Australia, as it may rub off on someone else’s face! In many tribes, face rubbing is customary – the lover pushes their nose and mouth against the partner’s cheek, while inhaling.
* In the South Pacific’s Trobriand Islands, kissing is highly erotic and very aggressive. The custom begins with gentle hugging and kissing, progresses onto biting each other’s lips until bleeding commences and concludes with biting off the eyelash tips.

Silly Smooching Myths Passed Down Through Generations

* If you kiss a frog, you might get a prince
* Kissing the Blarney Stone, located in Ireland’s Blarney Castle, yields the gift of eloquence
* Any woman who kisses the 16th century statue of Italian soldier Guidarello Guidarelli will marry within one year (more than 5 million women have tried)

Groundbreaking Smooches

* The longest kiss in film history was between Jane Wyman and Regis Tommey in the film “You’re in the Army Now” – lasting an impressive three minutes and five seconds.
* Minnesota’s Alfred Wolfram is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as having kissed 8,001 people in eight hours
* “And you thought this wouldn’t last” … Some kisses are meant to be forgotten, including the infamous kiss between the “King of Pop” and Lisa Marie Presley on a popular music video awards show

Love the question, actually got me doing research. Here's a quote: If kissing is not universal, then someone must have invented it. Vaughn Bryant, an anthropologist at Texas A&M, has traced the first recorded kiss back to India, somewhere around 1500 B.C., when early Vedic scriptures start to mention people "sniffing" with their mouths, and later texts describe lovers "setting mouth to mouth." From there, he hypothesizes, the kiss spread westward when Alexander the Great conquered the Punjab in 326 B.C.

Answer 3

It wasn't actually invented. I don't think someone thought 'wow, getting into liplock is cool, I think I will patent this invention and call it kissing' I would say it is an evolutionary thing that is still in use amongst certain primates today. Parents would chew food up and pass it mouth to mouth to their youngsters, whose teeth had not developed. How this became a symbol of affection amongst humans is interesting though and it does stem back to the feeding instinct in early humans and our cousins the apes.
