+430 Waving is really strange as a greeting when you think about it. Who was the first person to think "Hey, it's my friend! I know, I'll shake my hand frantically in the air. They'll know what it means," amirite?

waving attracts attention, attention initiates interaction therefore waving initiates interaction. It's not a big leap from 'I want to interact' to 'hello'.

I never wave at my friends, i use a complex system of whistling and smoke signals, that way, all my friends know i am ready to get my freak on.
