One of the hobbies we know the cavemen had was______.

In all history, when men have had free time they have turned to a hobby for pleasure. The cavemen were our first known creative hobbyists. In the free time after the hunting and fighting necessary to keep them alive, some turned to drawing. From the dawn of history to the present day men have left records of the fun they have had "riding a hobby".
    George Washington was one of the first busy hobbyists in American history. As a youngster he was interested in mathematics. This interest led to his early years as a surveyor. His early agricultural experiments added to his success as a farmer. He found time to design furniture that added beauty to his home at Mount Vernon. His study of evening skies with a primitive telescope increased his knowledge of his own world. He also made a collection of varieties of tea.
    Today hobbies are more important than ever. We have more leisure than we have ever had in the past. The shorter workweek and the fact that we will live longer than our parents and grandparents give us this new leisure. Throughout our lives each of us will have thousands of free hours after studying and working. Interesting hobbies can be the best answer to the question of how to use these hours.
