WHO WERE THE FIRST PEOPLE PRACTICE MONOTHEISM?

Urmonotheismus (German for "primeval monotheism") or primitive monotheism is the hypothesis of a monotheistic Urreligion, from which non-monotheistic religions degenerated and is supported by a number of scholars. Judeo-Christian scripture supports this view. Evolutionary biologists argue for Judeo-Christian scriptures as mythology so dismiss them out-of-hand. They argue preanimism, then animism, totemism, polytheism and finally monotheism developed based on the archeolological evidence; however, the physical evidence does not "prove" that the first modern humans were not monotheists... it's just their best guess after dismissing ancient manuscripts that assert it as myth.

When did monotheism begin?

The traditional by Judaism, Christianity and Islam is that monotheism has existed since the time of creation. However, many scholars say that Judaic monotheism is of quite late origin. Given that Zoroastrianism is likely to be the earliest essentially monotheistic religion, then monotheism began when Zoroastrianism was founded - somewhere around 1700 BCE to perhaps 2000 BCE.
