Most of the main communication signals are the same all over the world. When people are happy, they smile; when sad - scowling or scowling. A nod almost everywhere means "yes", that is, confirmation. A nod is actually a head tilt. Apparently, this is a congenital gesture, because those who were born blind behave in the same way. Shaking your head from side to side most often means denial, that is, "no." The child learns this gesture in infancy. When the baby has already received enough milk, he begins to shake his head from side to side, pushing the mother's breast. When a small child is fed, he also shakes his head, rejecting any attempt to feed him with a spoon. Thus, he quickly learns the gesture of denial and disagreement and continues to use it in adult life.
Shaking your head is a signal of denial. Its roots are in its infancy and are associated with the repulsion of the maternal breast.
The evolutionary origin of some gestures can be found out if one delves into the primitive animal past of man. A smile in most carnivores is a threat signal, but primates accompany a smile with non-threatening gestures that demonstrate subordination.
See how much the same facial expression! You hardly want to go on a date with such gentlemen.
