Well...Technically speaking..
>>17706298
Animism isn't a religion. It's a worldview.
The oldest religious traditions are basically whatever kind of animistic shit the first hunter-gatherers had. The oldest organized religious traditions we know of was probably that of whoever built Gobekli Tepe. The oldest fully organized religion was probably either Egyptian or Sumerian.
The oldest religion around today is probably Zoroastrianism, though its early history is extremely obscure. Hinduism is older in its origins and its texts are probably older than Zoroastrian ones, but modern Hinduism really isn't anything like the ancient Vedic religion. It's more a product of medieval India. Then again, you could argue similarly for Zoroastrianism, which changed a lot in the Parthian/Sassanid period. The truth is there's no real answer because nobody can say for sure when a religion 'starts'; they all just emerge out of earlier religious traditions. Some have clear starting points like Buddhism or Christianity, other like Hinduism and Judaism emerged more slowly.

The introduction of burial practices or

Are you retarded? The Jewish religion led into Christianity. And please do every body a favor and if you don't know what your talking about then don't talk at all.
Venus figurines started cropping up commonly about 30000 years ago, and are often found near potential luxury objects or objects of worship, and are visually associated with fertility.
It is reasonably safe to assume that the Venus Figurines were used as objects of worship for young children and childbirth in times where both were often failed or fatal. Similarly, they are often capable of being planted into the ground to stand, possibly to ward off fatalities and stillbirths.
The first religion was sex, after a fashion.

They're probaly not, just more worried about looking smarter.
My guess is that someone invented or witnessed God, and the rest just worshipped him (God's prophet).
Animism is a good bet too, some of the oldest cultures believe that the death are constantly with us, some old cultures even put the dead bodies under their beds.
Yaganes on the southest part of south america had a fascinating mythology and are one of the most isolated cultures.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaghan_people
Trying to talk about whether religions 'evolved' out of one another is useless as religions do not work in the same way as animals: a religion may grow out of another religion, but the forces shaping it can come from anywhere. That whole chart is a pretty silly concept on its face.
Otherwise, we're left pretty much with assumptions of what the earliest beings recognizable as humans regarded as religion, given our general lack of any lasting sources. You could maybe look at Australian Aboriginal practices which go back from 40,000 - 60,000 years (potentially 120,000 if we take increased fire activity as a sign of human habitation) as perhaps the longest-established and potentially longest-surviving religious strain.

HIGH TEST
Been a couple of mentions of shamanism and animism, but I would like to assert again that shamanism is the oldest religion there is. At the advent of sedentary peoples (villages, tribes, nomadic groups of people) there were loners who would go out into the wilderness and come back changed. They would experiment with primitive psychedelics, mushrooms, cannibis, also starvation and sleep deprivation, and meditation. Eventually they would return to the cave/village/nomadic tribe and would function as the oracle, healer, spiritual leader and were primarily responsible for rock carvings. These shamans were the storytellers and pioneered symbolism and metaphor in a world where abstract thought was brand new, and words were mostly used only to communicate real events of a literal meaning.
These altered states of consciousness would be the root of all modern religion, storytelling, and grandfather to science and mathematics as we know it today.

Neanderthals were superior to their contemporary Homo Sapiens. The only advantages Sapiens had were numbers and energy efficiency. They basically invaded Europe and swamped the Neanderthals.

I think the first 'God' was the wind. Even the sun and moon bowed to its power (appear to be 'blown' across the sky) The rain is brought by the wind. The wind has incredible fury and capacity for destruction. The wind is inside you (breath) and when it stops you die. To make fire you make an ember by friction and then blow on it/ breathe life into it. In proto Indo-European, 'Breath' and 'Spirit' are the same word. The idea of balance/ yin-yang comes from breath, you have to breath out before you can breath in again, you can't just do one, you must do both in equal measure.
