Anthropologists have not reached a consensus as to whether kissing is a learned or an instinctive behavior. It may be related to grooming behavior also seen between other animals, or arising as a result of mothers premasticating food for their children. Kissing allows prospective mates to smell and taste each other's pheromones for biological compatibility. Women are subconsciously more attracted to men whose major histocompatibility complex portion of their genome is different from their own, leading to offspring with resistance to a greater number of diseases, and thus having a better chance of survival.This explains why couples are more likely to bond if they have the right "chemistry". Also, a study by researchers at University at Albany found that women use kissing as a tool to find the right father for their children and to judge men exclusively on the quality of the first kiss that they share. Many other non-human primates also exhibit kissing behaviour
In history u can find kissing as:
At the Diocleia festival at Megara in honour of Diocles, lover of Philolaus, a kissing contest was held in which boys would kiss a male judge, who awarded a laurel wreath to the boy he deemed the best kisser.
In the gospels, Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss on the cheek—a subversive use of the kiss.
The Romans distinguished three types of kiss: osculum, a friendship kiss on the cheek; basium, a kiss of affection on the lips; and suavium (also known as savium), a lovers' deep kiss.
Lord Nelson, British naval commander, famously requested "Kiss me, Hardy", as he lay dying (although they were not, as often reported, his last words).

There are no other versions. The kiss is described in the very earliest of writings, including parts of the Old Testament that date back more than four thousand years, and in even older texts of faiths that preceded Judaism.

like the handshake it extremely is finished to gage yet another persons capability the kiss like the single that Jesus gained in the previous his capture, a kiss represents the removing a individual, it rather is symbolizes form of devouring the guy and so is meant to purely characterize farewells in olde cases

lip kissing was invented by the romans, who when the men returned home from work would kiss their wifes on the lips to see if they had been drinking.
most Apes do not kiss...for people it is an oral fixation that stems back to when we were breastfed and felt content and loved.

Other than 'Phantom of the Park', KISS is not to be questioned. It just is.

It is seen in other primates (bonobos) so it likely predates our evolution into humans.
