Starters, as a culinary concept, have evolved over centuries. The idea of small, flavorful dishes served before the main course has roots in various European cuisines, with influences from the Roman Empire's 'gustatio' to Renaissance-era banquets. Carpaccio, specifically, is a relatively modern invention from Italy in the 20th century. Salads, on the other hand, have a much longer history, with ancient civilizations incorporating leafy greens and vegetables into their diets.
