Pencils are a natural result of technological progress on tools used in drawing and writing. We all know (?) that early cave man used charcoal left over from their fires to make drawings on cave walls. Eons later mankind was using shaped charcoal for drawing and writing. Some famous artists, like Michelangelo, made charcoal renderings for example.
Charcoal is a form of carbon. And so is graphite. It's a form of carbon that can be used to draw and write, but it's much harder than charcoal; so it lasts longer in its use. When mankind found a way to present the graphite so that it could be handled without getting all over the hands during use, what resulted was the early pencil. That so-called "lead" in your pencil is really graphite.
