The phrase "correlation does not imply causation" means that the presence of a correlation between two variables does not necessarily indicate a cause-and-effect relationship. This concept has historical roots, notably discussed by David Hume in the 18th century, who noted that correlation does not imply causation.

Correlation in a stand-alone sense really was a fairly late-bloomer.

Cave men correlated. There was no word for it until much later but they figured out that if there was game by this lake, they should look for game at other lakes.
