Well, to me both seem likely, realistically speaking: originally primitive  
man just lived life on a moment-to-moment, here-and-now, survival-oriented  
basis; then he/she started conceiving of something more and tried to  
conceptualize what caused unknown phenomena, the origin of things, etc. That  doesn't 
mean that those conceptualizations were correct just because they came  
afterwards, though. Or that they were wrong. Just because something came  afterwards 
doesn't mean it's more advanced or correct, logically  speaking.
