Conny Waters - AncientPages.com - Hand signs can be an excellent way to express emotions. People have used hand signs to communicate and insult each other for thousands of years. Many hand signs we use today are deeply rooted in the past.
Over time, as people evolved and civilizations emerged and vanished, the meaning of a few hand signs has changed, but some have remained the same.
