What are some universally recognized gestures that retain meaning throughout all cultures they appear in?

For instance, nodding your head up and down for yes or back and forth for no. This is pretty much universally accepted in all cultures, yeah? Like even uncontacted peoples in the Brazilian Jungle, in the depths of the darkest corners of Africa and among the Eskimo peoples in the frozen wastes. How did peoples who have had no contact with each other (either directly or by proxy) come to the same conclusion? Is it written into our DNA?

And for that matter, when did smacking your hands together like a spastic come to indicate approval of an action that has been witnessed?

I've heard rural mountain Albanians nod head for no and shake it for yes. Not even memeing. I think I read it on wiki travel but it could have just been edited by balkanite that was trolling. Who knows.

Pelvic thrusting whilst grunting
Out of 37 countries I've visited, all seem to understand when I make such a gesture.

Clasping your hands together close to your chest is a universal symbol of trickery and deceit.

Putting your hands together and resting your head on them while closing your eyes means sleep to everyone, dont it

I seem to remember hearing something about this, but I though they were some kind of Indian or Hindu
