I first heard this mentioned in a History and Philosophy of Sci class and I'd like to know what everyone else makes of it.

Summary - Goodall has observed chimps doing a sort of dance in periods of heavy rain. Its usually only the males.
There is also a certain waterfall here they like to perform these displays. They also stare at it for long period with what Goodall interprets as awe.
So what do you think? Could this behaviour be very similar to that of the very first humans to dabble in religion? Or is there another explanation to their behaviour?
(I know my source isn’t the best, but I am looking for others - will post them if I find them)
