Lubbock Prehistoric man 1865 p. 457 Kissing unknown to Tahitian, New Zealand Papuan & Australian — in Esquimaux

[Expression, p. 215: "We Europeans are so accustomed to kissing as a mark of affection, that it might be thought to be innate in mankind; but this is not the case. Steele was mistaken when he said "Nature was its author, and it began with the first courtship." Jemmy Button, the Fuegian, told me that this practice was unknown in his land. It is equally unknown with the New Zealanders, Tahitians, Papuans, Australians, Somals of Africa, and the Esquimaux.22
22 Sir J. Lubbock, 'Prehistoric Times,' 2nd edit. 1869, p. 552, gives full authorities for these statements. The quotation from Steele is taken from this work."]

[p. 175: "With the Sandwich Islanders, according to Freycinet,24 tears are actually recognized as a sign of happiness; but we should require better evidence on this head than that of a passing voyager.
