The origin of academic subjects dates back to the invention of fire, undoubtedly the biggest discovery of human civilization. With the discovery of fire, people started learning to gather food so that they could survive smoothly and comfortably. It also marked the beginning of living together as a society because more hands could provide you with more food. From here onwards, a mechanism of management began to develop, and each society needed a leader to keep tabs on each development. A leader without communication skills could not manage society; therefore, language was developed first to address your feelings in words. You can express your feelings through body language, but it is effective only when two persons are involved.
Then, to keep the mechanism of management functioning properly, you have to know how to calculate and keep a record of society in numbers. It led to the development of mathematics as a subject. Till now, people used to be hunters and food gatherers, but they learned to live together as a society, so they needed to explore the geographic locations to grow grains. It resulted in the development of a subject we know today as geography.
Now, with progress and development, the population kept rising, and holding society together became difficult for leaders. So, they invented God and put it into a new subject called religion.
In order to prove God, scientists were prepared. They were assigned duties to prove the existence of God. So, science was developed, but the findings of science went against its creator. They were stark contrast to their opinions. Thus, the father-son duo began to develop with the very beginning of science and religion.
When scientists failed to do justice to the notion it was invented, a new set of people were prepared to mediate based on the knowledge and experience they gathered over the years, which led to the creation of a subject we know as philosophy.
Keeping the management of population in a society led to compiling a set of rules to govern the rising population in the best possible manner, which gave birth to politics, which became a subject of great importance. People also learned to remain accountable to society, and vice versa.
Now, since society had grown to the full, they needed to record the significant events of life so that they could travel from one generation to another for the purpose of understanding and learning. So, history subject came into existence.
With the passage of time, their daily activities used to be tiring and taxing on their physical beings. They needed some sort of entertainment to enjoy. Drama and music started developing to provide them respite from the nitty-gritty of life.
Later on, on the basis of the requirements of society, subjects were developed to cater to the demands of the people. And the list goes on.
