Turians evolved from bird-like predators, animals that used their teeth as weapons - so showing your teeth was more a sign of aggression, a declaration of intent. Apparently humans had evolved from hairy social primates, who used the gesture as a kind of 'everything's fine' expression. He turned to the Geth - Phalanx, he heard, but he'd not had the time to go through all the dossiers just yet - and gave it a nod. He wasn't sure exactly sure what kind of social etiquette sentient computer programs used, if any. Hopefully just a little basic decency would do.
