The idea of lying was something that completely changed the fate of man. It irrevocably changed the world and all who lived in it. Suprisingly, it started with an important caveman, Gurgun, who ruled over a little group of cavemen.
Gurgun was known far and wide for his great wisdom. If you came to him he knew the answer. But, one day he didn't.
"Oh Great and Powerful Gurgun, my mother is greatly ill! How do I save her?!" a young child cried.
Gurgun had no idea. He wasn't actually that smart. He usually just told people meaningless answers that made them feel good. They were vague enough to be true. This question was making it hard to be vague.
Then hit him. He didn't have to be honest, did he? Gurgun was super proud of himself and looked at the child.
"Child, do not fret! Your mother will survive if you kill a wooly mammoth for me." Gurgun said slyly.
"Oh! B-but..of course, Your Greatness." the child whimpered.
From then on Gurgun lied all the time, and he taught all his descendants. So, lying eventually spread to everyone.
