History of sport

The history of sports may extend as far back as the beginnings of military training, as a means to determine whether individuals were fit and useful for service. Team sports may have been developed to train and prove the capability to fight and work together as a team (army). The history of sport can teach us about social changes and about the nature of sport itself. As sport seems involved in the development of basic human skills. Of course, as one goes further back in history, dwindling evidence makes theories of the origins and purposes of sport more and more difficult to support
