Human Origins and Behavior
... Primatologists still use nonhuman primate behavior to examine the evolution of human behavior, they also use statistical tests to examine relationships between variables. They look for correlations between life history traits and sociality. Once correlations are found, they can propose principles ...

Evolutionary origin of religions
The emergence of religious behavior by the Neolithic period has been discussed in terms of evolutionary psychology, the origin of language and mythology, cross-cultural comparison of the anthropology of religion, as well as evidence for spirituality or cultic behaviour in the Upper Paleolitic, and parallels in great ape behaviour.
