Is Hand Clapping A Primitive Behaviour? by ochukofortune(m): 8:16am On Oct 02, 2014
Please, I have been trying to find out the origin of hand clapping. Some say it is a primitive behaviour others think it was learned. Please what is your opinion?

I don't think it's primititive at all, it's just how people express themselves. In my culture it is used to express disbelief/shock. A single clap or 3 claps. It's reserved for those situations where words fail you. Dumbfounded.

If black hand clapping is primitive, then so is Indian head shaking & Italian hand gesturing.

Why do some black people feel so ashamed of who they are? This I do not get.

Nothing wrong with hand clapping unless one overdo it & end up looking like a deranged seal.
