They want to get high just like everybody does, but they become very clever at identifying these plants and learning how to prepare them.

Yeah. Well, this goes back to the whole stoned ape theory. Yes. That's another rabbit hole we could go down.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. And it may – it's another one of these theories. It's – yeah, it's circumstantial evidence, but it's probably true. Terrence actually didn't come up with it. It was my idea. Oh, it was your idea. But, you know, we shared ideas. I mean, he wrote the book, Food of the Gods. And he, you know, it's a great book if you haven't read it. It's definitely worth reading.

And it is this idea about, but I have elaborated on that idea. And what's interesting about, He suggests that mushrooms were used quite by ancient civilizations.

And my theory is that mushrooms were probably the oldest psychedelic that humans have ever used and may have been used as long ago as two million years and may have had a lot to do with the evolution of our neural structures and our consciousness. don't look at me like that. This is not such a crazy idea. There's inferential evidence for this.

So we know that hominid populations evolved in Africa around 2 million years ago. And although the fossil record is, you know, incomplete, obviously, but we have a pretty good idea of the lineage, you know. There are fossils of starting with the first True hominids, Homo habilis, was probably the first hominid. And then there were different lineages that appeared. Homo erectus was part of this.

There wasn't a single lineage. There was actually various species in this environment that were interacting and interbreeding with each other. And eventually some emerged as the dominant species. Homo habilis, Homo erectus, eventually Homo sapiens, and over about 2 million years, the size and complexity of the human brain expanded, basically tripled inside Homo habilis
