Try raising your brows to the max and making the biggest eyes at the waiter instead of raising your hand. They'll look a lot quicker usually. Raised hand gets filtered out first if they're busy.

I have this theory that body language is way older form of communication, evolutionary, than language is.

Because human’s can be so weird and awkward socially compared to how we pick up body language like someone smiling, or in this case frowning of fear, so so easy

What do you think verbal language evolved from?

Well i mean verbal language as words and constructed sentences; so humans.

My point is, our common ancestors communicated with body language way before humans existed. Body language is way older, evolutionary, and therefore more ingrained in instincts.

Sorry for bad english, hope it makes sense

My cat has body language, and so do dogs. Bees have dances that can communicate locations of good loot to their brothers.
