Gesture, which is a movement of part of the body to express an idea or meaning. From the historical investigators, it is the evolution of communication and the origin of language. This is the motion of hands or body to emphasize or help to express a thought or feeling or emotion. This is the prescriptive literature of any era, whether in the form of etiquette books or guides to education. There were always plenty of people who either did not know or did not care about ‘good for’, arts of walking, standing and sitting. Some signs are still familiar, such as the hand on heart to indicate sincere emotion, but others are less instantly recognizable, such as slapping the thigh to show anger.
