yes - and cultures like that didn't really seem to have a sense of the past and future in the way we do (except The Eternal, obviously) and a much less sense of individual psychology - but you can still sense that basic desire to make meaning and exert some control over the world beyond one lifetime. So you watch the skies and start to notice things repeating and your sense of being able to predict grows and then you have an idea of the future and you start to try to propitiate deities in order to control it and after some natural disaster you lose faith etc, etc
