Just do a google search for "history of pigments" and see what comes up. Below is a history of markers. I hope this helps.

Pigments are the stuff that makes color. All paint when it is manufactured is white or clear. Pigment is from several sources. Vegetable, mineral, synthetic are all used to make pigments. Many of the pigments are "plastic" powders. That is it dissolves in alcohols.

Pigment? Paint? Ink?
Animal blood was used by nomadic people. They used paint as well and used sticks to draw pictures, posibly being the beginning development of the "modern" markers. As for paint/ inks, they mixed crushed rock, dirt, and plants into animal fat or egg to achieve paint. For inks they use various plants (dies & stains).
Mybe it would be interesting also to talk about the first writing utencils and how they might have developed into the modern marker.

People in the Paleolithic Era used ochre and other pigments to decorate their faces and bodies and to draw on cave walls.
