idk when I thought it started but it's such a basic thing I feel like it'd existed forever
High five - Wikipedia

Cliffs:
-brehs invented the low-five in the 1920s
-it's unsure when things switched over to the high five, but there are some guesses. Generally around the late 70s.
-Magic Johnson claims to have invented it while in college

-Another notable guess is it originated from Dusty Baker and Glenn Burke for the LA Dodgers:

Burke, waiting on deck, thrust his hand enthusiastically over his head to greet his friend at the plate. Baker, not knowing what to do, smacked it. "His hand was up in the air, and he was arching way back," says Baker ... "So I reached up and hit his hand. It seemed like the thing to do."

"It seemed like the right thing to do"
