Percuss is a medical term, to strike. When the doctor percusses your chest, she is striking it. So a percussion instrument is struck, mainly. There are others that you can shake, rattle or stroke, but they are usually struck.
A membranophone is any instrument that is under the percussion category. It must be covered with a type of animal skin or artificial animal skin. This means that a membranophone must have skin on it. An idiophone is the same but made of metal or wood.
A percussion instrument is any medium that makes a noise when beaten upon. As such everything can be regarded as a percussion instrument. Most probably in the prehistory the first percussion instrument was two rocks being beaten together, thus making a noise and a rhythm. The first "real" percussion instrument would be a drums as this is easy to do, extending a pig skin onto a hollow cylinder. So first percussion: Stones First "real" percussion: Drums
Definately not. The clarinet is part of the woodwind family, which is characterised by a reed on the mouth piece, disregarding the flute, which vibrates when blown across to produce tuned sound. Percussion instruments are typically struck with either the hand or with the appropriate stick to produce sound, and most are untuned. A drum is an example of a percussion instrument: it is played by striking the skin with a drum stick or with the hand. A clarinet is not.
This would be a snare drum.

Because for it to produce its sound, you have to strike it. It also produces sound through the vibration of the metal keys or the instrument as a whole. This is the reason a Glockenspiel can be considered as a Percussion Instrument.

For Membranophones, It is a stretched membrane such as an animal skin that vibrates which produces sounds. Examples of membranophones are Drums,Timpani,etc. For Idiophones it is the vibration of the whole instrument as a whole which produces sound. Examples of idiophones are Shakers,Cowbells, Cymbals,etc.
probally the earliest percussion would be animal skin over objects just like a drum head.
