Individual sports are played without a team or a partner where as dual sports my be played with two or more individuals. An example of an individual sport is Golf or Singles Tennis. Both sports can, however be played on a team. Most Universities have a Golf or Tennis club (which makes them dual sports as well).
A team sport involved playing a sport with teammates such as baseball and socccer, because there are other people on your team. An individual sport like golf or singles tennis is just you playing by yourself against another individual.
Chess, Swimming, Race, ect. are some examples of Individual Sports.
For me individual sports were invented to have some fun for ourselves and dual sports were invented to create fun for the society.
