When?

"I throw rock farther than  u"

I wonder, when, did we become spectators, and, what does that mean ... a spectator, means nothing, actually, it means a very small potato. "Hey, Adam, see how far you can throw that apple core."

"OK, Igor, I want you and Ra to run, ah do a fast walk, ah, move the legs, you know, how we go from here to there ..... OK, so you and Ra, let's call it fast walk, no something shorter, you run, down to that tree, that big thing with all the branches, ah, well see all those things coming out of that bigger thing, I call them branches, I made it up, anyway, you and Ra run down there, go around it, ah, like this, hand gesture, ah, ok, and then run back. The first one here will get meat for dinner, ah, that red stuff we put over the fire, ah, that thing we used when the lightening struck, ah white light from sky come down, hit ground and hot stuff keep going on. Hey, everyone, come see Igor and Ra, run ..... just watch, OK?

What is the fascination of watching people do things, where they are so much better than anyone else can do. "Igor, watch Ra, ah use eyes, see Ra, no, open eyes, watch Ra throw this rock, ah small thing from ground, see how far Ra can make rock move in air .... you think you can, Igor.

Everyone came to see Igor and Ra throw rocks. And then, Stra, who sold rocks, told Ra, I will give you more rocks if you will say you are throwing rocks for me. Thus, the first professional.

It all started there, I have no idea where the word "spectator" came from, my imagination does not have a clue. unless, "spec" ... meaning looking down from space at people, one being the size of a "spec" and "tater" coming from the Greek word, watch, which came from the Latin word, "see." In that context, it is easy to where the word came from ..... spectaror ..... I think.
