That First Moment of Realization

Last night, after soccer practice wrapped up I stood on the field and looked at the darkening sky and wondered about that first moment of cognition, of realization, the spark when a proto-human stared upwards and realized that the vastness up above was much bigger than them. Was it a moment of solitary reflection? Was it a sudden spark of intellect?

What was that first moment of realization?
