It can't be the only way. That begs the question as to who taught the first thinker.

It's just a label. You can learn from any relationship with any thinker who has even 1 good trick you don't.
You're asking "who measured the first ruler"? It sounds like a tricky question, but isn't really. Just chicken-egg iteration.
I get that. But I was asking in the terms that I thought was being said. The idea of the category having absolute thresholds is not practical for understanding how thinking can emerge.
