Re: Oldest profession ?
I think it’s agriculture…
Afterall, wasn’t Adam appointed by God to tend the garden of Eden… and later he was sent out of the garden to earth and asked to till the ground ??

weren't the earlier human beings hunter and gatherers? it's only after they settled down and started taming the cows and dogs did agriculture come into being. so it's still relatively new compared to hunting, or even prostitution.
