In the mid 70s Eric Idle (from Monty Python) had a Beatles parody band called The Rutles, and created a television mockumentary in 1978 called ‘All You Need is Cash’, and this was probably a pretty big influence on Spinal Tap in the early 80s.
ok. I too am now imagining dinosaur hookers, and it’s not even the weekend yet. RARHH!
There were probably professions that long predate history, and any of those are a bit hard to prove. There were ‘shaman’ in pre-history, and good shaman were quite possibly supported by their communities. There may also have been things like dedicated cooks. Trading sex for food however, is clearly hundreds of thousands if not millions of years old, so it’s hard to argue that other professions came before it.
I’d give a separate extra upvote for the cat participating, if I could!
