Every child recapitulates the history of early philosophical questions even as they learn to speak. What we don't know, because there is no oral history from the period of interest, is when there first came to be a distinction between philosophy questions and religious questions. In reading the pre-Socratic philosophers, for instance, you can tell that they are responding to questions about the nature of things that had already been knocked around for centuries.
