Thumb signals, such as the thumbs up and thumbs down, are common throughout the world.
It is not known where the gesture originated. Some researchers have observed that even Barbary apes use the gesture. It could be that they learned the gesture from humans, or that they came up with it independently.
Whatever its origin, thumbs up and thumbs down were well known by the time of ancient Rome. In gladiatorial contests, the thumbs up or thumbs down of the crowds (or the referees) determined whether a wounded combatant would live or die.

Some evidence suggests that a thumbs up indicated death and a thumbs down, life, in opposition to their modern meanings. Some ancient references refer to a "hostile thumb." During the Middle Ages, the upturned thumb began to take on its "okay" meaning, with archers signaling that they were ready for battle. In the twentieth century, World War I pilots used it to signal that all was well with their safety checks.
Today, popular culture and social networks such as Facebook have made the thumbs up meaning of "okay" nearly universal. However, in some parts of the world, such as West Africa and the Middle East, the thumbs up gesture still maintains a negative or even offensive meaning.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Thumbs up Sign
1. Begin by drawing a long, curved line. Outline an irregular, mountain-like shape. This forms the top side of the wrist and thumb.
2. To one side of the thumb, draw a horizontal oval. This forms the curled pointer finger.
3. Draw another horizontal oval beneath the first. This forms the curled middle finger.
4. Draw another horizontal oval beneath the former. Notice how the ovals appear to overlap. This forms the curled ring finger.
4. Draw another horizontal oval beneath the former. Notice how the ovals appear to overlap. This forms the curled ring finger.
6. Draw a curved line from the tip of the pinky finger. Notice how it becomes nearly straight and parallel to the line above it as it reaches the wrist.
7. Detail the hand with creases across the palm. Draw curved lines in a horizontal "Y" shape, but do not allow them to touch. Draw another, smaller curved line at the base of the thumb.
8. Enclose a curved rectangular shape at the base of the wrist. This forms the cuff of the sleeve. Connect it to the wrist at the bottom using a curved line, giving it a three-dimensional appearance.
9. Draw an irregular rounded shape at the tip of each finger to form the fingernails.
