    Oldest job?

    What is the oldest job, profession, task, occupation that pre-dates them all?

    Some say prostitution is the oldest job. In fact I’m sure some dimwit on this site will insist on this. I say nonsense to that.

    Prostitution couldn’t exist without a means of exchange such as money or trade. In early humanity only the strong survived to make it to reproduction. Prostitution is difficult without contraceptives. And cave women in those times didn’t fuck weak cave men who couldn’t provide.

    I think the oldest job is most likely a hunter. Killing other animals for food was essential in prehistoric times. You didn’t have the luxury of being vegan. Not many vegetables or fruits provide easy protein access.
    Another job I give mention to as the oldest is a parent. Mother and fatherhood are both jobs that are often overlooked. But reproduction is essential to a species survival. And it’s hard work.

    Other honorable mentions for oldest job include tool maker, basket weaver, and carpenter.

      I always had to conclude the same on this age old question that often ends in cliche's in discussion. Hunter and/or gatherer and trading that stuff is obviously an older occupation than whoring to get by. It might have followed really soon but then still, it would not be the first job/occupation/profession..

        Prostitution includes services other than intercourse. I suspect prostitution long preceded abstractions like money as currency. Were there men contracted to hunt prior to women going around selling their bodies? I think that is a question lost to the sands of time.

        Based on comics and cartoons, which I'm sure are accurate, I would say clubmaker. Clubmakers made clubs for men to knock women out so they could drag them back to their cave and knock women up.
