What Are the Oldest Jobs?
No one knows exactly how long humans have lived on Earth, but from the beginning of their existence, some jobs were needed. Hunters, farmers, toolmakers, and builders were some of the first jobs that appeared.
However, not all ancient professions were activities designed for humans to survive or to nourish themselves. Artists have worked for ages, too. The oldest cave painting is estimated to be 67,000 years old. The oldest-known musical instruments are flutes. Archaeologists say that they are around 43,000 years old.
The most surprising fact is that these professions haven’t disappeared!
