Literally "From age to age", and "from society to society"
We might say "between the ages" or "between societies"
A translation that is not literal, but gives the meaning in English is:
But although shaking hands is a symbol of greeting, introduction and closeness, it has had different meanings over the ages and in different societies.

It's a part of a proverb:
Ãœzüm üzüme baka baka kararır.
Literal translation: Grapes will darken by looking at each other.
Meaning: People mature by learning from their peers. People become bad through bad company.
