A brief history of kissing

The earliest written record of the act of kissing came from India. Before that, the closest thing were Indian accounts of "sniffing," in which two lovers would tenderly touch their noses to their cheeks.

It was only after Alexander the Great went to India that kissing began appearing in records in the west. It came to Greece, then to Rome, after conquering Greece. The Roman civilization spread kissing throughout its conquered territories, thus establishing it into Western civilization.

Kissing is not naturally part of the human speciies, because when North America began to be explored, there were written accounts of Native Americans being shocked and apalled at the idea of kissing, for they believed it was an act of stealing the soul.
