Written sources document that kissing was practiced by the peoples of the ancient Middle East 4,500 years ago, conclude researchers from the University of Copenhagen and University of Oxford in a new article published in the journal Science. New research has postulated that the initial indications of human lip kissing emerged 3,500 years ago in a highly precise South Asian area. It is believed that this practice subsequently disseminated to various regions, thereby concurrently hastening the transmission of herpes simplex virus 1. As per the findings presented by Dr. Troels Pank Arbøll and Dr. Sophie Lund Rasmussen in a recent article published in the journal Science, they assert that based on an extensive examination of written sources from ancient Mesopotamian civilizations, the...
