Strange bit of history: found in the magazine "Mental Floss". Kissing began because we were trying to lick each other for the salt. I'm glad we don't do that anymore.

We don't?

Huh. I'd read somewhere that it began because Roman husbands would come home and want to make sure their wives hadn't been drinking alcohol while they were gone...

Back in Prehistoric times it was important to select a mate with a good immune system to further the species with. So, as barbaric as it may sound, our ape-like ancestors would taste each other's saliva in order to find a healthy prospect. Saliva contains levels of a compound found in the body called immunoglobulin (IgA). IgA binds to bacteria and triggers the immune system to destroy them. Stress and anxiety levels can also be measured through saliva by monitoring the breakdown products of a neurotransmitter called noradrenaline, high levels of which indicate recent trauma. So instead of indulging themselves in the kissing purely for the joy of it, our predecessors were actually using smooching as a test of the health of their partner. Somehow their nervous system was able to recognise a suitable match purely through the exchange of, er..... spit.

Well, I guess it beats sniffing butts.

If we did sniff butts, would the protocol be that we have to ask permission first???

No, but you must knock (or ring bell) before entering.

Hmmm.....there seems to be a whole lot of theories here that sound right....maybe there was more than one reason to kiss.
Like you know....now?

The one about the Roman husband sounds more like my situation however:
Dating: He was making sure I was drunk.
Married: He is making sure I am not drunk.
