A researcher friend says grafting mention goes as far back as the ancient 
Greeks. 
Before that the records are fewer, but I bet older cultures knew about it.  
What
amazes me is how anyone EVER figured it out!  It doesn't take much 
observation &
logic to learn that some cuttings root easily, but deciding to try grafting 
is a
bigger stretch.  Wow.
