Dès l'origine, en paléontologie, on commence à parler avec certitude d' « humanité » avec l'apparition des mobiliers funéraires et des premières traces d'inhumation : lorsque l'homme devient capable de se représenter un « Au-delà » de l'humain, de développer des rites de passage de l'ici-bas à un au-delà, il devient humain.
