Animism: The First Belief of Humans? In this episode of the "History of Humankind" podcast, we look at animism, one of the first human beliefs. What is animism? How is it different from theism? By examining this topic, we will look at the similarities and differences between these two types of beliefs and the role that animism played in the lives of hunter-gatherer tribes. We will also discuss our very limited knowledge of the beliefs and culture of these tribes. Was animism the first step in the formation of religion and spirituality? #evolution #animism #theism #hunter-gatherer #early_culture #historical_podcast
