and the word freedom didn't even exist
Aside from the collecting and making of tools, which was easily mimicked by members of the tribe, wasn't the ability to make fire the first really individual trait? And this makes fire sort of the first really valuable possession in that sense. And as a consequence didn't this cause the first separation between Self and The Other? Because, you know, there had to be one primitive that made the fire first. Thus, the first religion began as a fire-cult, no?
And as anthropology reminds, hunting and fertility rituals as evidenced in cave drawings and such were among the first religious ceremonies too.
