How credible is the theory? Can sustained use of psychedelics trigger physiological evolution in the brain of primates? Did our ancestors use a lot of mind-altering substances to get into where we are right now?
There is only one way to find out. Buy a primate and psychedelics and start your research.
>>16793193Evolution is fake and gay
>>16793193Every aspect of a population's culture and environment is going to influence that population's evolution, but anyone who tells you a simple story about how X environmental factor caused Y trait is leading you astray. This includes mainstream evolutionary biologists, not just McKenna's wild imagination. At least McKenna's takes are intellectually stimulating. There are quite a few "educated" retards out there who unironically believe humans have plump and shapely lips because full lips look like a woman's cunt. Every evolutionary dynamic you can dream up is "possible" so long as the causality works out and it's not directly contradicted by raw facts, but someone else can always dream up an equally plausible dynamic with an opposite influence, or a more plausible one with a stronger influence. You can imagine all possible dynamics factors into the outcome to different degrees, with some canceling each other out. Mushroom use probably wasn't prominent enough among them to single it out.
Animals have always been able to get themselves high and drunk on natural substances and I don't see them building civilizations or going to the moon. It's not like many of humankind's great thinkers were stoners either, not that it precludes deep thought.
>>16793193The one who made the theory wasn't serious anon
>>16793193No.
>>16793193not at all.no, if that was true the 70s would have produced mastermind tier genius instead of a bunch of hippies going dude what.no.
Lmao
>>16793193You need to cope with the obvious fact that we were created with the DNA we have long ago.Eating mushrooms doesn't explain gaining or losing chromosomes.Nothing does or has or ever will.It's a genetic CODE. Are codes usually written by someone? Or have you seen codes that came from nothing before?It's getting to be retard tier.Christians are often retard tier, but the reaction of "science" is even more retarded because they proclaim to be smart.
