The different perspectives as to when did religion first evolve are presented. Religion, some experts believe, began as far back as 200,000 years ago with the Neanderthals, but the motivation for such cacheing of bodies is ambiguous. So most archaeologists more cautiously define the appearance of religion by looking for evidence of grave goods in burials, since these at least unequivocally imply belief in afterlife. However, tracing its origin might also come from asking what kind of mind is required to hold religious beliefs.
