Seeking the origins

I am obsessed with knowing why we do certain things. I like to know the origins of what we do.

Why do we bury our dead?

How is the origin of Christmas linked to religions in early human civilisation? In similar fashion, how is Good Friday and Easter linked to celebrations of the coming of spring, and why do we celebrate the coming of spring in the first place?

Where did we originate from? How did our ancestors move across that time and space to spread over the whole earth?

Why is it in some cultures, wives are called by their husbands as "sisters"? Is there a root in more primitive times? Or is it something to do with social structure?

The list of questions goes on...
