Psychedelic Mushrooms May Have Contributed To Early Development Of Human Consciousness

Just wondering how we would notice " this drastic enhancement of neuronal mass."

If eating mushrooms did allow chimp-like creatures to become humans, it would mean there's a noticeable effect where brain-to-body ratio increases. This hasn't been studied, and it would make a good one, but I don't think it's the case... Mainly to the problem of children inheriting any sort of enhancement that was gained from psilocybin use by the parent, it's not like It alters the hardwiring of the genome and therefor doesn't fall into the framework of evolution. But epigenetic inheritance could play a role of inheriting these sorts of changes acquired during the parent's lifetime.

This is why I think it would be more specific to call it a remembrance, a homecoming, a birthright, or a return to archetype, because if the mechanism is epigenetic then it means that the potential for this state of mind always existed within our epigenome. This is what Moses referred to as the Promised Land, the archetypal mindset where you start to transcend into the supernatural dimensions. Check out the theoretical physics of the Tachyon Realm, I compiled the main points in this post.

From the link, maybe you might enjoy the short read.

The literature review, which the authors said is based on “a multidisciplinary approaching biology, ethnobotany and neuroscience,” examined studies involving psilocybin and human consciousness published several journals in different fields. The 12-page report highlights that mushrooms played a crucial role in getting humans where we are today.

If we've been ingesting them for millions of years, that would develop consciousness. Over that amount of time?
I think so.

Changes like these, combined with psilocybin's effects on human consciousness and brain function, function, have expanded the human mind, "allowing us to transcend our basic perception and embrace creativity, introspection and abstract thought" and potentially influencing the development of language

Those who've made a career out of promoting evolutionary mythology while posing as trustworthy "scientists" really take the cake don't they? Have you heard the one about the walking whales yet?

Or the one about mermaids (a.k.a. the aquatic ape hypothesis):

ROFL, and they equate those who believe in the existence of a Creator (of the biomolecular machinery that makes up life, the most logical conclusion by induction when we're talking about the origin of machinery and technology) with those who believe in pink unicorns and flying spaghetti monsters. Basically doing the Isaiah 5:20,21 thingy (presenting the situation upside down, so worse than just the pot calling the kettle black):

“Woe to those who say that good is bad and bad is good,

Those who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness,

Those who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

Woe to those wise in their own eyes

And discreet in their own sight!” (Isaiah 5:20,21)
