Do you know if cancer didnt exist before or it happened suddenly.
The oldest description of human cancer was found in an Egyptian papyri written between 3000-1500 BC. It referred to tumors of the breast. The oldest specimen of a human cancer was found in the remains of a female skull dating back to the Bronze Age (1900-1600 BC).The mummified skeletal remains of Peruvian Incas, dating back 2400 years ago, contained lesions suggestive of malignant melanoma. And cancer was found in fossilized bones and manuscripts of ancient Egypt. Cancer is not a disease of our modern industrialized age, as some may have believed at one time.
This came from a web site, but the link does seem to want to stay here.

I think cancer is just something wrong with the indivicual in most cases...like theres something wrong with some tissue in their body...I dunno...wikipedia?:P
Just like any other disease it spread thru out humans. It had to start somehow.
