The ritual that motivates the humans to leave their abodes and walk among the strangers of their species is a powerful force that some men saw fit to exploit. They erected structures and filled the insides with objects of necessity and need or offered items of want or desire that became luxuries. The latter created an addiction that most people can’t resist and force them to return to these warehouses of dreams incessantly. History cannot narrow down a precise date for the very first store, but common sense would dictate that they evolved as soon as people gathered in groups and started specializing in a particular trade. This would point to the Mesopotamia area of the Middle East where the placenta of civilization was first recorded. It could have happened first on the African Plains but without written history, it is just conjecture that dried up, just like the lion’s urine after he ate the first store owner who sold in an open market. The introduction of specialization into human society was the ground floor for getting people to display their products of perspiration. Food would have been the first wares for trade. Seeing as how the biological bipeds required energy to function, the invention of the farmer was a given. Instead of everybody planting and harvesting their own energy source, some people saw fit to specialize a group of individuals to produce the fruits, vegetables, and grains for subsistence, thus freeing up individuals to perform other necessary items that created efficiency. Raising livestock, and then properly slaughtering them, gave humanity the butcher who was on the protein end of the food spectrum. We do not know if the open air meat markets of the past included human arms and legs of recently deceased individuals because butchering healthy humans that could be put to work would be counterproductive. Thus, slavery was introduced, and this commodity would have required an instrument for trade. Money materialized.
