Literature in its broadest sense began when cavemen and cavewomen sat around a campfire and told one another about their day (autobiography) and told one another about a discovery everyone could use (information sharing) and told one another fanciful stories for entertainment (fiction) and so on for all the various genres. Generally, the oldest recorded story within English is Beowulf, no doubt a tale told and retold around countless campfires to the delight of drowsy children and restess youths, long before someone bothered to write it down. Similarly, Fairy Tales (Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and so forth) are some of the oldest literature surviving today. These tales are so old that no one has attempted to date their origins beyond the Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Anderson recording them to paper so that they would not be lost to future generations... Many of the earliest recorded literary writings deal with religious topics. After all, writing was expensive and originally a craft of only the chosen few so only the most important documents of the day were committed to paper...
There is more than one birthplace of literature. As every culture discovered literacy and began to write down its oral tradition, literature started. One of the oldest known works of literature is the Babylonian work Gilgamesh.
When writing was invented. Before that stories were in an oral tradition.
