The first bit of our history = modern man.
RIGHT, let's get down to business then.
When I said history of 'MAN', what I am more precisely going to be writing / talking about is the subject of human communication, innovation and particularly media in general.
Okay, according to CREATIONISM and CREATIONISTS (look this bit up yourself if you don't know what it means), the world / earth, as we know it, is ONLY (about) 6,000 years old (yeah right!) And would you believe it but some of them either don't believe in dinosaurs or that they were about at the same time as early man. They say that they were used like horses and cattle are today in agriculture etc... Make your own mind up about this but DON'T take too long to do it. Remember, it's not a hard question to answer and (hint) there is only logical answer...
In MY view, the first sort of 'man' that started us as a human race onto the what we are today, started with the HOMO-SAPIENS, (about) 200,000 years ago. (Now that is an awful lot of episodes of your favourite TV series to watch to make up that time span!) The first 'MODERN MAN', that we would recognise as being similar to ourselves (if somewhat vaguely) was about 50,000 years ago (= about 1/4 of your TV viewing of the above mentioned favourite TV series!)
This modern man, STARTED to make and use tools made out of bits of flint / stone; they caught food (partially with the tools that they had started to make); they even started to farm. Just like our leisure time today, all of these things gave them more time to do other things. 
But REMEMBER, there was NO TV in those days, despite what the cartoon series "The Flintstone's" would have us believe. (So think. What on earth did they do in the evenings?!?!) Well, without TV and all the other gadgets that we take for granted today, they had to make their own entertainment.
But what did they do to
entertain themselves?
