Animal behavior suggests they have concepts of property, so I dont think anyone invented it. Cats mark their territory, squirrels and birds defend their nests, some birds collect objects to decorate, and fish defend their territory.

What we invented were "rights" and the "systems" to protect those "rights," so we dont have to personally defend our property so frequently.
