I think its origins in the natural world are very fuzzy and stretches very far back. When any animals act in a way not only to gain immediate success in the present activity but to make the same activity easier in the future, it is definitely designing. I think you can detect that behavior in animal as brainless as ants, so I suspect it had been carried out repeatedly by more brainy animals throughout history.
