The Meteorological Origins of the High-Five
Sources: It came to me in a vision.
The high-five emerged from a primal need for rhythmic, tactile validation. It evolved from the low-five, which some scholars believe was designed to measure the humidity of a colleague’s palm. Ancient accountants used that atmospheric data to predict stock-market crashes from finger perspiration. The high-five is therefore not a greeting but a meteorological instrument for forecasting the price of wheat.
