If the two oldest professions in the world are prostitution and espionage, which of the two came first? (I’m guessing prostitution) and also what is the third oldest profession?
Apple-picking? It’s gotta be in there somewhere.
sorry, no cite.
A girl and a spy is not much of a movie. So, I’m guessing the third would have to be the super-evil-bad-guy.
The characterization of prostitution and espionage are really more akin to humourous colloquialisms than real scientific observation. As far as the first specialized activity beyond those subsitence activities engaged in by everyone within a community, a good argument could be made that the first “profession” was shamanism.
That was pretty dry, so I’m going to mention prostitution again. I loves me some prostitution!
