Terrence Mckenna hypothesized in his book Food Of The Gods that the incorporation of psilocybin mushrooms catalyzed the evolution from homo-habilis (average brain size 770g) to homo-erectus (average brain size 900-1100g). This increase in brain size, and overall modification of behavior took place in a relatively short period of time. Archeological evidence suggests that unlike homo-habilis, homo-erectus used tools, cooked food, and created cave art depicting visionary experiences. For the longest time, and even today still, some evolutionary biologists dont even consider the possibility of psilocybin being an evolutionary catalyst, despite visionary plants being used in all corners of the earth and being used in ancient cultures, religions, and traditions. Mckenna may be having the last laugh on this one though, with a big fat I told ya so from the grave. Recent studies and research show psilocybin promoting the growth of brain cells. hightimes/read/technicolor-medicine-magic-mushrooms-can-create-new-brain-cells https://youtube/watch?v=QRNSEG1DY2s Theres no way to determine absolutely what caused the evolution from habilis to erectus, but every bit of information gives us the ability to paint a more accurate history of mankind.
