Anthropologists believe that a man-like model emerged forty thousand years ago. Such a human race has been dependent on nature from its origin to the present day, in which the role of plants is paramount. The earliest life of the superman was in the forests where the animals lived their life. The role of trees in human development is an essential one. Mankind, unaware of natural disasters and climate change, is a force to be reckoned with, and man believes that such natural forces inhabit trees. That is what later blossomed into wood worship. Such worship is still practiced in one or two places in the Kongu region. In the temples of the deities, various types of trees are still worshiped in the temples of the gods under the name of Tala virutsam. Trees are worshiped as a symbol of prosperity. Folk deities can often be found under a tree and worshiped in conjunction with a tree
