  Around 50000 years, Neanderthals buried their dead, kept objects in the graves, and decorated their graves. One can infer from this that they believed in life after death - like many religions do even today. The five great religions of the world were born much later in asia. Judaism and Christianity are practiced mostly in Europe, Islam originated in the arabic peninsula, and Hinduism in  south and east asia. In the Europe Christanity slowly displaced other religions and also the gods of the Greeks, Romans, Teutons, the Salvic people.

Why are many languages difficult learn?

 Learning a language is always a challenge. For example, while learning German we find structures such as 'He is reading a book' difficult because this said in a different way in Germany. Sometimes only tricks like holding the nose help us learn the french sounds. It becomes very difficult to learn the language of other people whose culture is alien to us. assuming our own behavioral can lead to confusion and resentment. For instant, Westerners express a refusal by saying 'no' directly,in many asian cultures this is impolite and the resufal is communicated in indirect manner. That is why, learning a language is also includes the behavioral patterns of the people whose language we are learning.

How can we protect ourselves against for bacteria?

We do need to protect ourselves against all bacteria. Some live inside our body and are even very important to us, such as intestinal bacteria. We fall sick only if there are too many bacteria and some harmful bacteria unknown to the body comes from outside. this can happen easily via cuts and bruises on the skin or when our bodies are weak. antibiotics help against bacterial infections. unfortunately, they are not always effective because many bacteria have already become 'resistance' to them. the way to stay healthy is to strengthen our own immune system. A diet rich in vitamins,i.e., fruits and vegetables, and exercise in the fresh air helps in keeping us fit.
