   The Stoned Ape Theory

   Send us a Text Message. (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1214933/open_sms) Join us this week on our strange trip into the Stoned Ape Theory. The theory, first proposed by Terence McKenna in the 1990s, suggests that the use of psychedelics played a crucial role in the evolution of early human ancestors. According to McKenna, the consumption of psychedelics, particularly psilocybin mushrooms (https://www.zmescience.com/feature-post/how-to-forage-for-mushrooms-greens-and-fruits/), allowed our ancestors to develop advanced cognitive abilities, such as language and abstract thinking.
