If you don't bury or cremate your dead, they stink to high heaven, and typhus can break out.

You either bury them or move. Besides the stench & possible disease is the danger of drawing scavengers & even predators to the area. Not the best idea!
"The unearthing of a tiny child suggests Africa’s Stone Age humans sometimes practiced funerary rites and had symbolic thoughts about death"
No shit Sherlock, they were humans of our species, we haven't improved in mental capacity.
We're just more educated.
We have to evolve into another species to see a general change in intelligence.
The hubris of modern humans on this topic is unacceptable.
