 💋🦴Before dating apps, scented candles, or tragically overpriced Valentine’s dinners, our ancient ancestors were already locking lips—and not because some cave-dwelling Casanova whispered sweet nothings over mammoth stew. Nope. Kissing, it turns out, is older than writing, agriculture, and even that one relative who still calls it “snogging.”

Scientists and anthropologists believe kissing evolved from primal habits like mouth-feeding infants or affectionate grooming. Translation? Our love lives owe a weirdly sentimental debt to mom-spit and monkey hygiene. ❤️🙈

💋 From Spit-Sharing Survival to Clay-Tablet Romance

Let’s take a slow-mo zoom through time. Around 2500 BC in ancient Mesopotamia, someone carved history’s first recorded smooch into a clay tablet—because nothing says “eternal love” like wedge-shaped scribbles on baked dirt. Sumerian and Akkadian texts depict lovers and gods alike getting lip-locked, long before Netflix made it cliché.

But if you’re more into mythology, buckle up. Whether it’s Adam and Eve getting frisky in Eden, Shiva and Parvati vibing on Mount Kailash, or Ishtar planting one on Tammuz in a Mesopotamian soap opera, the kiss has always been the universal signal for: “Yep, things are about to get mythically complicated.” 🌩️🍎🔥

And no, there was no “first kiss” moment like the invention of fire or the discovery that milk has an expiration date. Instead, it emerged organically—the earliest expression of “I trust you enough to get in my bacteria zone.” Romantic, right?

So next time someone calls kissing “just a thing people do,” remind them it’s a 10,000-year-old ritual with roots in regurgitated baby food and divine seduction. Now that’s a legacy. 😘📜
