...
we nod our heads for "yes" and shake it for "no"?
The
best explanation for this comes from Charles Darwin, who related these
gestures to a baby's nursing habits. The forward
head motion, or nod, is supposedly a breast-seeking pattern while shaking
the head from side to side is a breast-rejecting
motion. That is, in the first instance, the baby is saying "yes"
and in the second it is saying "no". This is confirmed by the
fact that
a baby born deaf and blind will nod for "yes" and shake its
head for "no".
