What if the reason why humans became intelligent is due to our ape-like ancestors consuming psychedelic mushrooms in a consistent manner which forced our brain to evolve and develop sapience?
What if you’re a fucking retard?
A bunch of Christian hippies getting high and claiming to meet God makes me less convinced.
Yes saar, us Indians love eating cow poop mushrooms.In McKenna’s Stoned Ape hypothesis,” he posited that as humans began to migrate to new areas, at some point they came upon psychedelic mushrooms growing in cow droppings, as is their wont, and then ate them. After ingesting them, and more specifically the psilocybin they contained, their brains kicked into overdrive, acquiring new information-processing capabilities, and a mind-blowing expansion of our imaginations in the bargain. Many modern users of psychedelics claim the world never looks the same again after such an experience. As McKenna put it, “Homo sapiens ate our way to a higher consciousness,” and, “It was at this time that religious ritual, calendar making, and natural magic came into their own.”
That’s why I posted it cunt faceWait, it’s actually a real theory
The same way eating soy makes you retardedI would become a flat earther sooner than I would become a Stoned Ape truther. How could ingesting a mushroom cause your children and grandchildren to be smarter?

And how the hell would that transfer to offspring?“Improve neuron plasticity and develop neuron pathways.” Or so scientists claim.
Yeah, I don’t know. I think it’s an excuse for stoners to justify getting high.And how the hell would that transfer to offspring?
Epigenetics or something like that, yeahAnd how the hell would that transfer to offspring?
I don't think Epigenetics is significant to almost anything highly polygenic like intelligence. It's a reddit memeEpigenetics or something like that, yeah
