In the Paleolithic, our ancestors practiced magical rituals to influence natural events such as death and storms, due to their dependence on natural conditions to survive. They valued the afterlife and performed funerary rituals, burying the dead in caves or graves in the fetal position, surrounded by stones and accompanied by personal objects, weapons and food. Paleolithic art, represented by paintings of wounded animals in caves, had a magical meaning to facilitate hunting. In addition, exaggerated female figurines called Venus highlighted the importance of motherhood and fertility.
