That trick requires both clothing and a facility for speech. There's probably an older one from when we were naked and grunting

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Claiming that your groping was just an attempt to get a gummi Venus De Milo that was stuck to her pants.

Literally the oldest trick in the book is a magic trick that an Egyptian dude performed which involved ripping the heads of birds and reattaching them.

Pretty sure the oldest trick involves getting a talking snake to convince a guy to eat an apple another guy grew, but was hoarding for himself.

Kind of lame for a trick, but they didn't have much material to work with back then.
