    couples blamed god

    AFAIK, God, singular, is a relatively recent and complex convention. Yes, you’re making a point by showing that even procreation was seen with different eyes, but prehistoric time spans do not compare to modern history, I assume. Comparing bio-cultural evolution to historical evolution as it likely is with monotheism might generate weird results.

      True of monotheism. But animalistic religions is believed have been one of the first. And very early at about 300k old. That is basically assuming a sentience to natural events. So if is fairly likely they blamed an inability to procreat on some unhappy element in thier world.
