The even more difficult question(s) why, or for what, social beings (started to) do reverences, coud be kept in mind (as a reference).

Some people thimk, that they - or we, e.g. as womanhood, manlind etc. - don't have many/better gestures (behaviorems) to show, up to feel, dedication and respect (in one) to others, themselves, things and so on. And not just a few people used and use forms they are expetes or forced to.

The difference of bowing the head oder upper boddy, now called 'bow' - and of bowing a/the knee/s (for longer or shorter, comp. 'curt[e]sy') wasn't and is not always clearly correlated to sexes. But social gender 'seperation' - rather discrimantion of females - in and since European baroque age 'started' the custom to understand bows - but not (or no longer) of knees - as typical male, and even emancipated, gestures.
