can't speak for other ball sports, but I'm pretty sure bowling started out with rolling a stone toward a club target. http://www.hickoksports.com/history/bowling.shtml American football descended from Rugby, which originated at the Rugby school in England. (I'm sure most sports fans already knew that.) I found this website about sports in Ancient Rome, which I thought was pretty cool: http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/w/x/wxk116/romeball.html Still don't know how they made balls back then in the first place. Probably animal bladders inflated. Human skulls seems fairly unlikely.
