Contemplating the Origin of Spirituality

Culture is the human capacity to respond to challenges, and spirituality is at its core. As a researcher of early human culture, it seems inappropriate not to explore the origin of spirituality. Yet, spirituality is a challenging field to explore and remains a mystery to humanity to this day. Because of this, it has an irresistible appeal to researchers. Exploring the origin of spirituality is an endeavor pursued by many disciplines, and prehistoric archaeologists are involved. I cannot promise what problems can definitively be solved, but I think it is okay to ponder them to provide some enlightenment.
