    Since we have had houses with multiple rooms it has certainly made sense to shout “where are you?”

    Scratch that. Since there were opaque things larger than a human that could be positioned in between two humans (rock, tree, bush, animal) it has made sense.

    Scratch that. Since there was dark it has made sense.

      Only recently has the response changed from “here” to something more descriptive.

          Only Asians in the 13th century knew him.

          It’s weird how he ended up in swimming pools.

        Pretty sure people have used more descriptive answers since the dawn of language too whenever sound wasn’t a reliable direction indicator.

          Maybe “up”, “down” or “over”.

        I still like to answer here. For extra annoying points I can add ‘turn around’ a couple times.
