Unlock the mysteries of human evolution with the "Stoned Ape Theory" by Terence McKenna!
Have you ever wondered how our ancient ancestors developed language, self-reflection, and cognitive ability? The Stoned Ape Theory proposes that the answer may lie in the consumption of psilocybin mushrooms over a long period of time.
During the Pleistocene epoch, global cooling led to the increase of ice sheets and glaciers, forcing early humans to adapt to new and challenging environments. The theory suggests that our ancestors may have retreated to shrinking tropical forests and consumed insects and mushrooms that grew in cowpats, including the highly psychoactive Psilocybe cubensis.
The consumption of these mushrooms could have helped early humans to better adapt to their surroundings, potentially leading to the tripling of the human brain size and the "Creative Explosion" that occurred 40,000 years ago. The theory also explains how psilocybin can increase empathy, and bravery, and alter modes of perception, providing useful advantages for early human leaders.
Terence McKenna, along with mycologist Paul Stamets, argues that the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, psilocybin, allowed our ancestors to forge connections between sounds, symbols, and meanings, leading to the evolution of human language and communication.
