"Who Am I?"

 "Who Am I?"
When did man first ask the question "Who Am I?"?

I have an inkling that it was asked 25000 years back. It came to the
fore through some cave drawings.
I don't remember the place where the cave drawings were found.

Can anyone enlighten me on this?

Just because you see drawings, doesn't mean that non-drawers had no concept
of "I."

Chimps also have a concept of "I."  So do dogs.  Etc.
