the need for man to thank someone for his prosperity

With settled agriculture people sought ways to explain, secure and ritualize fertility and successful harvests. Religion expanded to give thanks, ask for blessings, and regulate communal rites (and as a result produced priests and social specialists), so the “thank someone for his prosperity” option best matches historians’ explanations.
