probably the first thing one human traded to another was her vagina though, and that would have been long before we developed trading systems or agriculture. Thief and Hunter you might be able to argue but I doubt it yanma

Pretty sure they still had to hunter gather long before they could think about reproduction

Hunting was done as a means of survival. Proffesion implies compensation for one's services, so it's not hard to imagine someone trading their ass/vagina in exchange for food or shelter.

They call it a profession because it would have involved some kind of payment, probably a trade of vagina for antelope meat or whatever.

In that case, hunting would be the oldest profession

Yeah providing food was gathered and sex was the currency paid for the service of the food, wouldn't the profession have happened upon the food gathering which happened before the sex?

Again, food was gathered to serve one's needs at first, not for some kind of compensation.

The world's oldest profession was probably war. I imagine the idea that you had to bargain with a woman for her vagina came after.

Still though, 2nd oldest is still pretty damn old.

Mercenarism is sometimes called the world's second oldest profession. Prostitution gets to be #1.

Yep. They even taught monkeys to treat red rocks as currency and observed rocks being traded for sex and for hits. Lol. Like literally monkeys paying other monkeys to go kick another monkeys ass or kill it.

Agriculture is the science and art of cultivating plants and livestock. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that enabled people to live in cities.

Grats. Most modern historians agree that it took humans around 10,000 years to figure out how to farm crops.

So explain how agriculture was the first profession.

It really probably isnt. If merely getting things for partnering up is prostitution then tons of marriages are just that. No one will tell you thats prostitution and it does not work conceptually or as per peoples usage of the word.

Prostitution is a woman getting something, providing the service, then no commitment. Whos to say the hunter gatherer of old did not simply partner up with the woman in some fashion?

This given, there is no end of things that could have come first. Most notably selling more mundane, necessary things.

There's no real evidence to support bartering until the rise of specialization which didn't happen until after the transition to an agrarian society.

I don't really count hunting / gathering that was just shit you had to do to live. The real jobs back then would be medicine, fighting, and primitive tribal politics. Prostitution would have been a way for women to get things from men to help care for their children but it's impossible to say what came first.

Just that it definitely wasn't agriculture.

Yes, this is a good point as well

But it gives value to my opinion, imo, since that male can protect you, the female, thus giving something that is very valued - protection to her and their children

It is not a profession any more than taking a shit is a profession. Nowadays since we have civilization, you can make it one. But back then, no.

Not really sure where the banana thing came from but most apes have very little access to bananas in the wild.

Most apes that eat them are being fed them by humans.

And that is why prostitution should be legal.
