   I would have to say the question although the answer was available.

      How do we know that someone a while ago with a big ego did not go around giving everyone answers before they asked anything?

   Only in the Jeopardy! game show does the answer come before the question.
   An answer is usually given in (response) to a question.

      What about one caveman saying, "Look at the monster!", before the other 'asks what it is?

      "Look at the monster!" is not an answer anymore than someone pointing out the "big dipper" in the sky to you or saying: "Check this out!". If I ask "What is it?" I would then get an answer or explanation.

   The answer is always there - it's the people that begin to question...

   I would have to say the answer, only because I am a mom four times over and mom's have this ability. I always had psychic abilities with my kids. I always knew what their question was before they asked so I just answered first to save time.

      You are the first one to say that the answer came first! Amazing. I like your thinking.
