Man's closest ancestors and parallel human species are the Denisovans and the Neanderthals, both with whom we share a common ancestor. The split occurred some 550,000 years ago. We were genetically close enough to both species to interbreed and produce fertile offspring, as evidenced by the 1-2% Neanderthal DNA found in Homo Sapiens, modern humans, except for the sub-Saharan Africans who contain virtually none to no Neanderthal DNA. Similarly, modern-day Melanesians have 4-6% DNA in their genetic code. There is no evidence that the Denisovans worshipped any gods, whereas the Neanderthals had burial rituals that included placing tools and ornaments with the deceased in their graves. This shows in the fossil record from 70,000 to 100,000 years ago. Homo Sapiens have had and have worshipped copious gods to the tune of an estimated tens of thousands of gods.
