I doubt that. Science and philosophy used to be considered very closely related. Many people we think of as philosophers were really both scientists and philosophers in their time.

I guess that depends on how you define a scientist. I'm sure even pre-historic tribes had members that were smarter than others and like to study things and make inventions.

There are so many skills developed and improved on over time for us to have gotten to where we are. Ugg the cavemen or an early farmer or a stargazing shepard wouldn't have called themselves scientists, but they were most certainly doing science.
