One way primitive people learned things was via semi-random religious beliefs. The religions with more helpful beliefs out-competed the others because the believers were more prosperous and then others noticed this and concluded the gods favored those with those beliefs and either joined that religion or incorporated those beliefs into their own religion. Knowledge at it’s core is a set of helpful beliefs, we could be totally wrong all that matters is the benefits. Believe.
