Archaeologists have discovered what seems to be remains of the world's earliest religious worship site in the remote Ngamiland region of Botswana. Here, our ancestors performed advanced rituals, worshipping the python some 70,000 years ago. The sensational discovery strengthens Africa's position as the cradle of modern man.

The new archaeological findings in Botswana show that our ancestors in Africa engaged in ritual practice 70,000 years ago - some 30,000 years earlier than the oldest findings in Europe, according to a report printed in the research magazine 'Apollon' published by the University of Oslo (Norway).

While, up until now, scholars have largely held that man's first rituals were carried out over 40,000 years ago in Europe, it now appears that they were wrong about both the time and place. Associate Professor Sheila Coulson, from the Oslo University, however claims to have proof that modern humans started performing advanced rituals in Africa 70,000 years ago. She discovered mankind's oldest known ritual in Botswana

there may be older superstitions yet. when ppl die out or be come absorbed in 2 other tribes, there's no records left of their beliefs. may be as ppl be came cognizant, more aware & more capable of abstract thought, they came up with superstitious beliefs. neanderthals are known 2 have buried their dead; per haps they had primitve observances or simple thoughts of some kind of "world beyond". beliefs don't just pop up out of the blue; they evolve & are built on by successive generations.
