the paleolithic covers the period 2.5million years ago to 10,000. What could religions covering such a broad period have in common to merit one single categorization. I would recommend a chronological splitting of the paleolithic into lower, middle and upper paleolithic since there would be some similarity in culture and technology within each sub period.

the burden is on you to motivate a move to a different title. You have completely failed to do that. "Paleolithic religion" is indeed the common term for the topic discussed here. Just do a google scholar search. I'm not here to breastfeed you with information you can perfectly well look up for yourself. dab (𒁳) 12:19, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Dickson (1990) is a monograph of the 35-10 kya period in Southwestern Europe in particular. If you get a hold of that book and summarize it into a standalone article, I have no objections to branching that out as a separate topic. dab (𒁳) 12:27, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
The commentary for the first picture "archeologists believe that cave paintings of half animal half human beings may be evidence for early shamanic practices during the Paleolithic" may be biased. The number of archaeologists who believe that is actually quite small, the book "Les Chamanes de la Préhistoire" by Jean Clottes, which defended this theory, is highly controversial and was critisized by many in the scientific world. Perhaps the word "some" should be added in the beginning of that sentence. Munin75 ( talk) 18:14, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

In the Upper Paleolithic section, this line: "The earliest known undisputed burial of a shaman[clarification needed] dates back to the early Upper Paleolithic era (c. 30,000 BC) in the area of the present-day Czech Republic." It is not well sourced and hard to pin down. I think it is referring to Dolní Věstonice (archaeology), but the evidence is certainly not strong enough for the undisputed claim and probably not enough to include the line at all. There is also this competing fact Oldest Shaman Grave Found; Includes Foot, Animal Parts
I think the line should be removed. Any thoughts? Bemis Ampleforth ( talk) 20:56, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
The way that part is written originally led me to believe that the Lascaux caves had a painting depicting a lion man. However, that is not the case, and the book talks about the Lion-man but never says it's from Lascaux. It does mention multiple other animal-human hybrid paintings in other caves though. I do not know how to rewrite that section myself, but I think it really needs to be. 199.19.253.50 ( talk) 17:40, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

The article currently states "Andre Leroi-Gourhan and Annette Michelson believe unmistakably religious behaviour emerged by the Upper Paleolithic, before 30,000 years ago at the latest", but this seems to be contradicted by the source it cites. While the source does indeed contain the cited statement, the paper argues against it, claiming in the conclusion "the themes which emerge from paleolithic art more directly invite psychoanalytical study than that of the history of religion." 64.118.14.242 ( talk) 17:55, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
