The term animism is derived from the Latin word anima,which means breath or soul. It more than likely originated in the Paleolithic age, although no written records exist so we can only theorise. It seems to have developed simultaneously across the world, with no specific place of origin. It is currently Practiced worldwide, but most commonly in areas of Africa and the Americas where tribal communities still exist.
