Hmmmmm, that's an interesting question. I suppose it could be an evolutionary adaptation; being able to clear one's nostrils and breathe more freely would have obvious evolutionary benefits. Some people theorize that picking and eating boogers may have immunization benefits:

I suppose if you really wanted to research it, the first step would be to look at nose-picking habits in other primates:

(OK, that's actually a spoof.)

Or am I taking your question way too seriously?

Haha! it particularly is basically society that has instructed us to no longer %. our noses. it particularly is a factor of being civilised and socially standard. In historic Greece and maximum different historic civilisations it grew to become into very polite to burp after a meal, the louder your burp the better the appreciation of the meal. It grew to become right into a great compliment to the chef!

It's an evolutionary adaptation to boredom and lack of purpose in life.
