We think that archaeological evidences shows that we began believing in souls, not why. The answer to the question of why is addressed by all of the reasons we believe in souls today - again, as an artifact of our shared full modernity. Most of the cave art speaks to how we viewed ourselves in relation to the world around us, though. Souls lie in the confluence between burial and ritual burial with funerary objects - a practice we started then and continue to this day, globally.
We went from not giving a shit, wherever they fall - to caring for a body, to believing that something persists after the body and must be provided with necessary goods by laying them in state or with the remains.
-diving even deeper, circumstantial concerns have been ruled out. The circumstances between disparate group of humans pre and post modernity was not equivalent, the circumstances for individual groups pre and post modernity very often was, (or was reduced), and the circumstances of some groups were relevantly equivalent or better pre modernity than they are for a massive number of contemporary humans who do engage in these behaviors.
Something very specifically about us changed. It wasn't more or less free time, it wasn't more or less stuff.
