Why Ancient Humans Created Gods?

📖 60,000 years ago in Shanidar Cave, a Neanderthal body was carefully placed in the dirt, surrounded by wild flowers and ancient bones. Animals abandon their dead to the scavengers, but humans did something completely irrational: they cared, they performed rituals, and they looked beyond the physical world.
