the Answer to this is very simple.... with the lack of Knowledge of the time its Easy for people to want to Know an answer.
as stories and fairy tales, tall tales, and myths are today. the Bible might have started that way.... to Teach life lessons etc... and these stories got compresed into a book.....(or many books). if you are saying the only reason we have "god" is Because thier must be one.... then have a look at other Cultures the Greeks , the Romans for Example they all had Gods although they are regarded as Myths today.
As for us evolving and Keeping records....... Evolution is a slow Process. One Species Has no Idea it came from another I mean. it didn't Happen all of a sudden an Ape didn't just Give birth to a Human one day.... its hard to say their where creatures that Looked like humans but might not have even been human yet. and even if they where there is also Alittle thing called surviving that was Keeping them too busy to keep records........ get what we are saying?
do you get what we are saying now?
Also the Comment about People in Africa. I mean Africa is a place where some people have an "APE LIKE" lifestyle Hunting and gathering.. same goes for small south american tribes in the Jungles. but this is where we Became Human in small groups like this(there was a documentry on the science channel about this watch and you will see what I mean)
