Today, in many parts of the world, it is customary for people to shake hands upon meeting as gesture of good will. Originally,
however, the practice of shaking hands had more practical purposes.

their right hands to show they had no weapons, and clasped them. This was the beginning of the handshake.
The custom of shaking hands is not a universal one. In the orient, people have for centuries, clasped their own in front of them
