Abstract in brief

Beliefs have been overlooked in science, but recent research shows they are key brain processes that help us assign meaning, make decisions, and navigate the environment.
Beliefs are categorized into empirical (about objects), relational (about events and interactions), and conceptual (based on narratives and rituals), with each involving different neural processes that develop gradually and require more brain resources as they become more complex.
The evolution of human beliefs is linked to brain growth, especially in areas like the parietal and medial frontal cortex, which support the increasing complexity of these beliefs.]
