    “Maybe it was because as hunter gatherers, we were following, you know, animals. Animals take shits and there's psilocybin cubensis or, you know, grow on poop and, you know, and then people would, you know, trip out, they'd take these mushrooms and they trip out. And then you get like neurogenesis and you get these epigenetic changes and you get this doubling of cranial size.”
