Does nodding your head up and down universally mean "yes"?

Asked by AstroChuck (37609points) August 23rd, 2008 from iPhone

Same question applies to shaking your head side to side to indicate “no”. Are there cultures out there where these gestures mean something different or nothing at all? It’s hard to believe that with so many diverse cultures we would all evolve to use the same head movements for yes and no.
