How could it happen that version control software emerged so lately?

According to Wikipedia (the table at the page bottom), the earliest known version control systems were CVS and TeamWare both known from year 1990.
How can it be? Software development has been here from at most 1960's and I honestly can't imagine working with codebase without version control.
How could it happen that version control software emerged so lately compared to software development?
