Nobody invented hunted.... To be more specific, the early cave men, or Cavemen, can be said to invent hunting. Speaking that they were the first people to hunt, and did so off of there instinct to survive. Back then it was a fight for food and survival, in the modern world many people hunt as a sport and rarely eat their kill. Hunting is also what saved many civilizations.
