There’s a potential lag of 200k years from biological modernity to the first indications of so much as a belief in -human- spirits, let alone gods. It’s safe to say that deism and theism are (relatively) recent developments of full modernity, occurring sometime after modernity, 50k years ago. The same trend is noticeable even in here, where evidence of god belief can only be found in a fraction of the subset.
Even modern “primitive” beliefs are just as far removed as complicated theologies from their behavioral origins. No one of the primitives sprang Firth fully formed as they are, and their beliefs have changed even within the timeframes observable in a single human life.
