Not by a long shot.
Dismay, regret, anguish - they've been with the human race for a long, long time. It's instinctive in those situations to cover your eyes so you can't see, to cover your face so you can hide in shame. When Adam and Eve got exiled from the Garden of Eden, don't you think there was some serious facepalming going on?

And there you have it.
These are wonderful! I'm loving all your posts this challenge. Brilliant choice for F!

LOL Facepalming has probably been around since caveman times. I wonder if there's a cave drawing of a dude faceplaming. XD

Doubtful, Patricia. From what I've seen, cave paintings didn't really focus on facial features. But you would think that the guy who stepped on a dry twig and scared away the prey would have had a whole lot of explaining to do!
DeleteLOL! :-)

I never noticed so much facepalming before! So this has been ingrained in our genes for a long time..does that mean we aren't getting any smarter?
ReplyDeleteHilarious!
ReplyDeleteHeh. Thanks for this. ^___^
ReplyDeleteToo funny! On a serious note, I now want to know about academic studies of "Face Palming" in classical texts. I'm going to research it. Glenda from

ReplyDeleteVery original post, even though, as you demonstrate through the great art photos, Face-palms have quite a lengthy history.
