They point to red ochre burials and artwork and practical objects and more as records of full modernity - which they place around 50k years ago. That leaves something like 150k years before that, and with no reason to assume that we thought like we do today before full modernity, and every observation we've made establishing that we did and do beyond that point - that puts a clock on souls.
I guess that it's difficult to imagine a human being that doesn't just think different things than we do, but that doesn't think like we do at all - but that's what we find in the archaeological record.
Do we have cave drawings that explain why they started believing they had souls?
