Did Ancient Humans Believe in Gods?

Did ancient humans believe in gods? Most of us were taught that belief began with frightened cavemen, thunder and an angry god in the sky. The oldest evidence tells a very different story, and it starts with a child's grave about 100,000 years ago. In this video we follow the evidence forward through time. A burial in a cave in Israel, where one child received a gift no other grave got. A family tree of hunter-gatherer beliefs that reveals which idea sits at the very root of religion. A lion-headed ivory figure from the Ice Age that sat in a box for thirty years. And the giant carved pillars of Göbekli Tepe, raised when hundreds of strangers first began to gather. When you lie awake with the big questions, who do you talk to? Tell us in the comments.
