Humans were wrestling back when we were still apes before hand tools were invented. pic related
Equestrianism and fencing
>>65060056
No it's equestrianism
>>65058501
In human evolution? Probably long distance running, maybe wrestling.
In human history? Equestrian, archery, fencing, maybe wrestling or decathlon.
>fencing
>implying battles weren't decided mostly by formation, discipline and material available
>equitation
that is OK, pretty relevant along with archery
That said, probably running is the most relevant 'sport' in human history.
>>65058501
Javelin throwing.
Trying to jerk off while not waking up your parents in the next room is the worlds oldest sport.

Correct answer.
The ability to handle long distance running and endurance were literally crucial to man's survival. Had to track and wear down them Mastodon to make sure the tribe could eat. Not to mention all the hunting in Africa.
Running desu
Wrestling/running. Back to the good old days.
>field
>equipment
>referee
Fuck all that shit; though, I suppose wrestling was just fighting before it was a sport. Perhaps then, running was the first real sport. Contestants can referee themselves without prejudice.
I'm kind of interested in the history now.

I'd also throw chariots onto that.
Probably archery.
You could make an argument for running, swimming, and wrestling, but unlike those archery was specifically practiced and perfected by hunters. They didn't practice swimming or running, they just did those things.
It's literally archery, go home everyone
>>65086518
But it isn't. Fighting is the oldest known sport, predates archery by thousands of years. MMA is the closest thing we have currently.
Is 'Equestrian Archery' a sport? Horseback-riding archers from the Steppe tended to fuck Eurasia's shit up every four hundred years or so until guns were invented.
>>65058501
War
>>65058501
Baseball
it helped build the greatest, and most relevant, nation on Earth.

MMA easy. They've found stuff dating back to ancient Sumer before Egypt showing guys fighting and wrestling at the same time.It predates everything. Track and field came later same with wrestling.
Everything else is hogshit when you consider Mma has been around for over 6000 years
