Homo sapiens are uniquely adept at utilizing systems of communication for self-expression. In addition to the exchange of ideas and information through language communication, each cultural tradition has evolved a complex set of non-verbal signals capable of conveying at a glance detailed ideas about identity and ideology.
Some of these culturally evolved signals are almost universally recognizable by all sapiens. They are a sort of communication short cut, rich in information, that function to quickly define the relationship between the recipient and the signaler, making reciprocal behavioral expectations clear to both parties.
