Most rational explanation I ever heard dealt with the aftermath of a hunt. One hunter - a bit more advanced than the rest perhaps - thought about the difference between a living animal and a dead one. From that emerged the idea of some animating spirit and we were off to the races with the bullshit.

The first "shaman" was also the first con artists who convinced people that he could communicate with those "spirits."

Today that shaman has morphed into the fucking pope.
