Forster believed story-telling was an old thing and is dated back to the Neolithic or maybe even Paleolithic Age. He is of the opinion that one judge from the skull of the Neanderthal that it heard stories. He believes that it was just an idle time and way to relax for the early humans who came back after hunting. Only the suspense of the story held them after which they were so disinterested that they may have even killed a human being.
