Comment on Most people's earliest memories are at around 3 or 4 years of age, which correlates with the age kids start asking "why" for everything. Kids start asking why when they become self-aware.

My earliest memory (that I have a solid time estimate for) is from 2yo. It’s not a memory of questions though, I was a curious kid; it’s a memory of me and my older siblings coming up with stupid names for our soon to be born younger sibling.

So, my guess is that it’s more about trying to come up with your own thoughts and ideas and answers than it is about asking questions specifically.
