Qigong originated from shamanic healing rituals
and totemic dances appearing around the time of the Neolithic Ice Age. These dances and rituals invoked the animal spirits and gathered the elements in order to heal the sick and the weak. Hence, many Qigong movements still retain their names harkening to these totemic origins: "Crane Spreading Its Wings", "Tiger Return to Mountain", "Monkey Retreats", "Dragon Extends Its Claws" to name just a few. From an evolutionary and anthropological perspective, these ancient animal-like movements most likely evolved from the hunters' imitations of animals while stalking prey.
