The first meme was probably some t-rex shaking it's head about with it's prey in it's mouth until it's guts flipped on it's head then pranced around making the other t-rex uncomfortable.

Killroy/Chad was well before dancing baby.

Can't remember if the super S was before that.

might as well have a recurring thing like a meme before it was defined as a meme

therefore, making the meme older than the actual definition of meme.

So if meme is a "media gene" (something that evolves over generations while being propagated thru media), then religion is probably the first meme

The term "meme" was coined in a 1976 book by Richard Dawkins, popularizing gene-centered evolution.

So.....you're all wrong?
