This paper will explore one possible scenario of the origin of distinctly human occupation. A synthesis is presented of many explanations for what may have propelled proto‐human behaviour from a state of symbolically limited proto‐occupational behaviour to a more complex level. The scenario offered suggests that the first collectively symbolic action occurred during primitive rituals, where the power of a blood taboo initiated by females, motivated males to provide a higher level of provisioning to their dependant offspring and mates
