Kissing (BBC)

[Harry Bloomfield]

They said (BBC) we, and animals, have been doing it around 21 million years - now, how could they possibly know that? They also don't know why we, and animals do it - but do it, they do....

Our last dog, used to make a feint of bitting your nose, then it would turn in to a kiss.

Read the scientific research paper on which the piece was based?

Ok, I'll say it out loud - WTF are you going on about?

There is a BBC article where they claim to know about when the first kiss was made.
Some 21 Million years ago.

The Key Role Played by Kissing as Species Developed

Scientists have traced the origins of kissing back more than 21 million years, and now know why many different species kiss in the way they do.

It's pretty straightforward. The 7 minute story does a great job of explaining it.

 

[Brigadier]

Shut up.

Melt.

Thanks, and I agree - just guessing. That's a longer version, of the brief version I saw.

How did you not understand it? They found a load of species with a shared trait and traced back to the most recent common ancestor. It's not that hard to grasp.

Which does not necessarily, logically follow.

It really does. Convergent evolution doesn't apply here.

It’s not the bbc saying this, they are passing on research. People are obsessed.
