Polytheism means a belief in many gods, as compared to monotheism, which is belief in one God. Religion existed far before writing (we know this because during the Age of Exploration, Europeans found many groups of people who didn't have writing, hence they were prehistoric, but they did have religion). Although three of the major religions of the world today are monotheistic, or are centered around one God, and one major religion (Buddhism) doesn't refer to a God or gods at all, none of these existed until historic times. Hence, we know for certain that at least some prehistoric people practiced polytheism. Whether any prehistoric people believed in only one God we do not know.
What else can I help you with?
Was the polytheistics prehistoric?
Polytheists are people who believe in more than one god. As most religions were polytheistic prior to missionaries spreading monotheism, and all cultures have religion, polytheism would reasonably be expected to have existed since prehistoric times. Further, when explorers met prehistoric cultures (cultures that did not yet have written records), many of them were polytheistic.
