Once we learn to converse with whales and other sea mammals I have a hunch they'll have all the human ones beat!

As to human types? All the AmerInd tribes have held their traditions a long time. Australian Aborigines maybe? I know of a few folks that have managed to maintain pre-christian European ways. There may be a few that still keep the old Egyptian practices going. I'm sure some African people still hold their ways also.

With the wide diversity of human beliefs on this ball of rock and our long traditions of faith I'm not sure a real answer to this question is possible! Even the ancestors of Homo Sapiens Sapiens seem to have held spiritual beliefs, do we shortchange them?

I'd almost suggest you re-ask your question in the Religion section here but that would rapidly devolve into a flame fest. Instead maybe you could focus on what all belief systems seem to hold in common! The belief in some form of afterlife and some form of respect for life (i.e. prohibitions on killing).
