With the day / night cycle of the sun, the phases of the moon and, for a lot of parts in the world, the seasons I think it is pretty much a given that humans started counting time. I'm pretty curious about any timeless societies as well!
- yag123 13y agoCheck out the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirah%C3%A3_people http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirah%C3%A3_people , then.
