What was the first meme known to humanity? Where did it originate?
Something Finnish probably
My dick.
Your mom.
Cave paintings then religious iconography.

Memes are simply self-replicated signs. Picking bugs out of fur is an ape meme, holwing probably a wolf meme.
No one's exactly sure why, but rabbits were common motifs in medieval drawings.

>No one's exactly sure why
They're a cunt joke you stupid fool
>>496219
wow rude
First memes were probably just advice for not getting killed. Look both ways before crossing the savannah and things like that.
>>496220
Don't shitpost about things you don't know about.
>>496237
Speaking of "hare"y cunts I'd post about your mom but it would be off topic.
Nowhere near the first but Pompeii has some feel-worthy stuff in it's graffiti. It's even got the Antiquity equivalent of

Memes predate humanity.

only "real" meme I can think of is about Franz Joseph I Habsburg-Lothringen.
Czechs were calling him "Procházka" which literally translates to "walk".
and its because of article in newspaper from time when Franz Joseph was in Prague and local newspaper
printed picture of him walking on Charles bridge with caption: "Walk on the Bridge" in czech "Procházka na mostě"
since then everyone was calling him "Walk".
Lunar worship/mythological three day resurrection cycles
probably some prehistoric spurdo cavepainting meme
>>496157
vesu vesu vesu :D
Probably breathing for humans. Non-essential for survival would probably be some sort of simplistic language, like grunting.

It really is amazing how similar we are to people that lived hundreds of years ago

prolly fat-tits, you need something to fap to when the alphas fuck all the women

>HOLY
>>497397
Probably this
If we define a meme as a scripture that is reproduced for no good reason and out of context, then the oldest surviving meme is probably Andre the Giant has a Posse, which exists today under the "OBEY" form.
I think however that drawing a dick on a wall probably has way more ancient roots than this, but there's a lack of physical proof about it, maybe influenced by archeologists' bias.
By Dawkins's definition of meme, first meme would be something rather common and uninteresting like walking on two feet
milhouse
>>498294
Millhouse is NOT a meme.
>be Booga
>le Booga go Googa's party
>Booga's face when everyonega into le ebic wheel of rock

Post boogas.

The first human meme is probably speech.
The first meme ever is cellular reproduction.
>>496145
Using tools.

>VI.14.43 (atrium of a House of the Large Brothel); 1520: Blondie has taught me to hate dark-haired girls. I shall hat them, if I can, but I wouldn’t mind loving them. Pompeian Venus Fisica wrote this.

yes

/his/ has determined that medieval scribes were the first ebin memesters and that Christian monasteries were the first enclaves of concentrated shitposting.
