After 6 million years of boredom
The evolutionary ascent of our species
From the last common ancestor with the chimpanzee
Something extraordinary happened to us
Less than 100,000 years ago
Which by the way is long after we'd become anatomically modern
It was a kind of emergence into consciousness
We became fully symbolic creatures
Fully symbolic creatures
And we became fully symbolic creatures
Fully symbolic creatures
And this great change is being defined as the single
Most important step forward in the evolution of human behavior
Is intimately associated with the emergence of the great
And transcendent rock and cave art
All around the world
All around the world
Over the last 30 years, researchers have suggested an intriguing
And radical possibility which is that this emergence
Into consciousness was triggered by our ancestors encounters
With visionary plants
And we became fully symbolic creatures
Fully symbolic creatures
And we became fully symbolic creatures
Fully symbolic creatures
If you analyze the cave art, there are so many details
That make it clear that this was an art
Of altered states of consciousness, of visions
Of visions
Plants like the amanita muscaria mushroom or psilocybin mushrooms
Appear to have been directly connected
With this sudden and radical change
And we became fully symbolic creatures
Fully symbolic creatures
And we became fully symbolic creatures
Fully symbolic creatures
And we became fully symbolic creatures
Fully symbolic creatures
And we became fully symbolic creatures
Fully symbolic creatures
Visionary plants
And the beginning of Shamanism
Visionary plants
And the beginning of Shamanism
Visionary plants
And the beginning of Shamanism
Visionary plants
And the beginning of Shamanism
