Knowledge existed hundreds of years before philosophy.
Philosophy did not start at the first knowledge, it started at the first knowledge of wisdom.
Science is not discovery, it is the method behind discovery. Discovery alone requires knowledge...the method to classify it requires wisdom, this is why science was founded after the origin and rise of philosophy.
Knowledge has expanded exponentially at a shocking pace over the last 3 thousand years. Yet, the wisest amongst us know that all of knowledge is based on a foundation of wisdom...a foundation of the one true kernel of knowledge...the wisest all know that all we know is that we know nothing.

Knowledge is the subset of all information which is known to be true, there was knowledge from before philosophy existed (for example, "the red berries make you ill" may have been known before language came about).
Philosophy is the study and debate of ideas and the ways of looking at things, while science is a tried and tested method of discovering which ideas are knowledge (have truth).
Philosophy may predate the scientific method, but knowledge predates philosophy. Science is just a philosophy, but it's the best philosophy we have in the context of finding truths.

No , philosophy didn`t start as first knowledge.first knowledge was how to hunt, how to get warm, how to make families or groups, how use the surroundings (caves, trees ) or how to communicate and so on. after many generations doing this, they started to ask "why ?". science is " how ?". got the point ?
