What is the purpose of lower-case letters?

Asked by AstroChuck (37609points) April 22nd, 2009 from iPhone

The Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic alphabets all have a lower-case form. Are these the only ones? Why do we need lower-case letters in the first place? It wasn’t always the case. What is the history behind this?
