Humans domesticated fire around 3,00,000 years ago. We started using tools around that time. But, the human brain evolved to its current size roughly 2,00,000 years ago. We migrated out of Africa into India, 50,000 years ago. So, when do we find the earliest signs of religion in India? It depends on how we define religion. In archaeological terms, religion means belief in something unseen, apart from the current, lived experience.
