Basically the same thing we do. The scale was much different. Money is the means by which people aquire things which they haven't the resources to obtain by conventional means. For example, before money people lived in a very small world. So small that all needs were met by Natural Resources at hand. Once the world began to open up, through travel and trade people were exposed to items not available witin their "world". Travel was dangerous and not commonplace so the simple answer was to provide others with those resources to which you had access, and they didn't. The next simplification was to remove subjective resources and replace them with a product valuable everywhere. Gold, Silver, Copper etc.
Yes it is still in use nowadays by many people... I'm pretty sure.
The San people found food and water after days of searching for a reservoir and container, and after finding it, the created little abodes and huts that worked as storage facilities.

Different people throughout history have had very different lives. The one of the most important things to remember is that people have only been able to use electricity for a couple of hundred years, but humans have been around for thousands of years. So for most of that time there was no TV, no internet, no lights. Life was much harder for people in the past. They had to get up as soon as the sun came up and go to work (that included a lot of children - before school was compulsory) and they would work until the sun went down (because they didn't have electric lights). But there are lots of differences between the way different people lived - cave men lived in caves, but Victorians lived in houses, and the Romans even had underfloor heating!!
