I believe the root for the philosophical thought is pain, suffering and uncertainty. Philosophy primarily seems to be the search for a truth that is beyond the impermanence and inconsistency of life. In that sense, philosophy must be as old as our superior thinking faculty itself is.

How did philosophy begin? Some time around 600 BC in ancient Greece a radically new idea took root. Beliefs about a world derived from religious dogma and often lurid myths handed down from generation to generation gave way to the idea of logos.Exactly how the idea arose remains a mystery. But it was the seed of all that has subsequently come under the name of 'Philosophy' right up to the present time.

Philosophy began when man became man. Prior, he was an instinctual mammal. Thoughts and imagination spurred the beginning of philosophy.

When human science seems not to have a clear answer to what it seeks intelligent speculation has its way to put things at rest and the mind finds it so interesting. That's how it all started I think.

Well, formally in ancient Greece.
But I suspect abstract thought was in play when men were painting cave walls.
