Well, if you believe in the Judeo-Christian version of everything, then the first history lesson on Earth would have been given to Eve by Adam. Since he was the first human, he would have explained to her how he came to be. : ) |

bugbear, I believe your question is one of the great imponderables... Imponderables http://www.imponderables.com/index.php My reasoning is that in evolutionary thinking, there is no beginning, or ending --only progression. In the scope of your question, even prior to the very first school, the "history" of our ancestors, and what is known [beliefs] about our existence and the universe we live in, has always been handed down from one generation to the next. ~~Cynthia |

I spent several hours on this, since I found the question quite interesting. I didn't find much for you, but this list of books might be helpful: University of Durham: The History of History Teaching Collection http://www.dur.ac.uk/g.r.batho/archive/hoht.htm |
