Who gave the concept of binary numbers?
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz published a paper in 1703, which documented the base-2, or binary number system. There were other earlier uses of base-2 numbers, but Leibniz is given credit for the binary system in use, today. I found several articles, but the Wikipedia article is probably the best one that I came across. See related link.
How far back were numbers used?
As far back as folk needed to count things - the number of sheep, the number of bottles of oil etc. The simplest counting systems are still seen today, for example, the number of kills a pilot has are shown as several glyphs representing planes. The quality of consumer products is commonly rated using a star system to indicate the performance, and thus allow different products to be compared. The Babylonians formalized this into cuneiform marks, and from this start, written language developed. The Hindi gave us zero (meaning 'leave a space'), then borrowed by the Arabs who gave it the name cipher.
