One of the biggest unanswered questions in the scientific community is “How did the Human brain Triple in size over just 2 million years?” Ablip by evolutionary standards.

According to the Stoned Ape Theory developed by Terrence and his brother Dennis McKenna, theorizes that the persistent sustained consumption of psychedelic fungi by proto-humans over at minimum a few hundred thousand years could have been a vital component of the development of human consciousness and the invention of language.

The Stoned Aped Theory was not to stand as the lone factor in the development of human consciousness, but as one of the many factors that went into the evolution and development of the human brain over such a short amount of time.

The psychedelic mushrooms that the protohumans would have consumed would have been some type of Psilocybe Cubensis {aka gold tops} which would grow on the dropping of the animals that early proto-humans would have hunted.

This theory is largely disregarded by the major scientific community as just another wild theory, but with new studies coming out about how psychedelic mushrooms interact with the brain and its correlation with finding new pathways that promote new and creative thinking.

Who knows, maybe the stoned ape theory is a litle more possible than you might have once thought.
