Early man started storytelling to establish a way to pass important knowledge and life lessons that make a community better able to survive. Often times the elderly filed this role.They were like the community 'Hard Drive' that stored edited and compiled the things that a tribe had learned. Storytelling unleashed creativity also. So sitting around the campfire at night it was easy to see how storytelling also allowed people to make their first attempts at understanding the world they lived in...

In aboriginal cultures, women were usually the historians and story tellers. In many Amerindian cultures, women were also leaders and heads of household.

cave people, as soon as people could communicate they told stories of great hunts, great battles and began making up stories of their ideas of god or the gods. so its been around about as long as people have.
