The history of sports may[original research?] extend as far back as the beginnings of military training, with competition used as a mean to determine whether individuals were fit and useful for service. Team sports may have developed to train and to prove the capability to fight and also to work together as a team (army). The history of sport can teach us about social changes and about the nature of sport itself,[citation needed] as sport seems[original research?] involved in the development of basic human skills. As one goes further back in history, dwindling evidence makes theories of the origins and purposes of sport more and more difficult to support.
