A kiss is the touch or pressing of one's lips against another person or an object. Cultural connotations of kissing vary widely. Depending on the culture and context, a kiss can express sentiments of love, passion, romance, sexual attraction, sexual activity, sexual arousal, affection, respect, greeting, friendship, peace, and good luck, among many others. In some situations, a kiss is a ritual, formal or symbolic gesture indicating devotion, respect, or sacrament. The word came from Old English cyssan ('to kiss'), in turn from coss ('a kiss'). Some anthropologists believe that kissing is instinctual and intuitive, having evolved from activities like suckling or premastication, others suggest it evolved from checking the health of a potential mate via inspecting their saliva, and yet others believe that it is a learned behavior. The earliest reference to kissing-like behavior comes from the Vedas, Sanskrit scriptures that informed Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, around 3, 500 years ago, according to Vaughn Bryant, an anthropologist at Texas A&M University who specializes in the history of the kiss. Both lip and tongue kissing are mentioned in Sumerian poetry:My lips are too small, they know not to kiss. My precious sweet, lying by my heart, one by one 'tonguemaking, ' one by one. When my sweet precious, my heart, had lain down too, each of them in turn kissing with the tongue, each in turn. Kissing is described in the surviving ancient Egyptian love poetry from the New Kingdom, found on papyri excavated at Deir el-Medina:Finally I will drink life from your lips and wake up from this ever lasting sleep. The wisdom of the earth in a kiss and everything else in your eyes.
