Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: This episode of The y Files is brought to you
- 0:02by Nord VPN. Something happened to the human brain one
- 0:09hundred thousand years ago, something evolution can't explain.
- 0:13Speaker 2: In just a few thousand.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Generations, our brain nearly doubled in size. No other species
- 0:19has experienced anything like this. And we didn't just get
- 0:22bigger brains. We got enhanced abilities, increased intelligence, better eyesight,
- 0:30faster reflexes, and the most amazing ability of all, consciousness.
- 0:35And somehow all of that happened fast, too fast for
- 0:39scientific explanation. But in the nineteen nineties an outsider offered
- 0:44an answer. His theory was simple and immediately dismissed. It
- 0:49contradicted everything the scientific establishment believed about the emergence of
- 0:53human consciousness. He said the cause wasn't the discovery of fire,
- 0:57or language or the use of tools. He said all
- 1:00of those abilities were the result. He said, early humans
- 1:04transformed from primitive hominids to the most advanced life form
- 1:08on Earth because they added one simple thing to their diet, mushrooms,
- 1:13but not ordinary mushrooms. The mushrooms that awaken the human
- 1:17mind were magic.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Yeah, you thank for signing it in there.
- 1:34Speaker 1: You are my credit card company just called. Someone tried
- 1:38to order a pizza to the bowl in the fourth
- 1:41stall from the front in the ladies room, Terminal three,
- 1:46Heathrow Airport.
- 1:48Speaker 3: That was me. I was feeling a little packaged.
- 1:51Speaker 1: I know it was you. Why are you in the ladies?
- 1:54Why are you in England?
- 1:55Speaker 3: I'm on from hackers. Whytt signed up for bee and
- 2:00match it dot com?
- 2:01Speaker 2: Beaver Matcher, isn't that a dating sipe Beavis?
- 2:04Speaker 3: Yes, you're quite the detective anyway.
- 2:08Speaker 4: Why it's looking for a wife and he matched with
- 2:10some beautiful Canadian lug Nibbla named choose the right One.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Choose the oh, choose like it is? I get it.
- 2:20It's a hominym hey.
- 2:21Speaker 3: Yeah, you're on fire today. Anyway.
- 2:25Speaker 4: It turns out the Nibbla is really a cyber crime syndicate.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Long story short.
- 2:30Speaker 2: They can't fished him.
- 2:31Speaker 3: And now he might lose his damn DM.
- 2:33Speaker 2: I see what you did there, another homonym.
- 2:35Speaker 3: You are focusing on the wrong things human, so the
- 2:39syndicate fish.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Met another hominem.
- 2:42Speaker 3: I can't believe this.
- 2:43Speaker 4: I'm being hunted across the tree continents and all you
- 2:45can focus on is white play.
- 2:47Speaker 2: You're traveling the world to hide from hackers.
- 2:50Speaker 3: Yeah, you can keep dragging an ipadress if you keep
- 2:53changing country.

- 4:25Speaker 2: What system?
- 4:26Speaker 3: My bev matus. I gotta go my flight to Turkey's
- 4:30pudding next airport.
- 4:33Speaker 2: That's pronounced botman.
- 4:35Speaker 3: What I say.
- 4:46Speaker 1: The outsider was Terence McKenna, not your typical scientist. He
- 4:50started as an ethnobotanist studying plants in the Amazon, but
- 4:54a trip to Lacerera in nineteen seventy one changed everything.
- 4:58That's where McKenna tried psychedelic mushrooms, and what he experienced
- 5:02set him on a decades long quest to understand consciousness.
- 5:07McKenna wasn't making wild guesses about mushrooms and evolution. He
- 5:10had data, hard evidence. In nineteen seventy, Harvard researcher Roland
- 5:15Fischer ran a series of experiments he gave graduate students
- 5:19controlled doses of psilocybin than he tested their vision. Small
- 5:23doses improved visual acuity by two hundred percent. Students could
- 5:29detect finer details, see contrasts, better track movement more accurately. Now,
- 5:34think about what this means for early humans. Better vision
- 5:37means better hunting. Better hunting means more food. More food
- 5:41meant bigger brains. But McKenna's theory went deeper. He proposed
- 5:46three levels of mushroom consumption. Low doses enhanced vision and
- 5:50made people more alert, perfect for tracking prey across the savannah.
- 5:54Medium doses dissolved social boundaries that led to conflict. Groups
- 5:59became more cohesive, People shared, more bonded more. More bonding
- 6:04means more children. High doses of psychedelic mushrooms produced an
- 6:09entirely different and intense experience. The ego dissolved, New thought
- 6:16patterns emerged, abstract thinking and understanding.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Symbolism became innate.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Natural language became music, and music became language and consciousness.
- 6:27Whatever that is expands. McKenna didn't think these were just
- 6:33side effects. He thought they were part of a bigger plan.
- 6:36And here's the thing about human brain evolution that bothered
- 6:39McKenna two million years ago, our ancestors had brains around
- 6:43nine hundred cubic centimeters. Within one hundred thousand years, that
- 6:47jumped to sixteen hundred cubic centimeters.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Nearly double.
- 6:51Speaker 1: That kind of growth usually takes millions of years, not thousands.
- 6:55Fire helped, tools helped. Eating meat helped, but the line
- 7:00didn't match. These developments came after brain expansion, not before.
- 7:05McKenna had one simple explanation. Our ancestors followed herds of
- 7:11game across Africa. Those herds left dung everywhere, and growing
- 7:16in that dung were psilocyby Kubensus mushrooms, the same mushrooms
- 7:20Fisher study at Harvard. Early humans were hungry. They ate
- 7:24everything they could find. They ate not just the animals
- 7:27they hunted, but the mushrooms left behind from the herd.
- 7:31The scientific establishment hated McKenna's theory. They called it the
- 7:35stoned ape hypothesis. The name was meant to mock it,
- 7:39but McKenna embraced it. He believed psilocybin didn't just change
- 7:43the mind, it helped form the human experience. Scientists thought
- 7:48McKenna was crazy, but thirty years later they gave people
- 7:51psilocybin and scanned their brains. Terence McKenna wasn't crazy at all.
- 7:57He was dead right. McKenna was right about one thing.
- 8:07Psilocybin changes the brain, but not the way anyone expected.
- 8:11When neuroscientists finally put volunteers in MRI machines and gave
- 8:15them psilocybin, they thought brain activity would explode, more neural firing,
- 8:20more energy, more chaos. Instead, they saw the opposite. The
- 8:25brain got quieter. Specifically, one part went almost silent, the
- 8:30default mode network. The default mode network is your brain's
- 8:34control center. It's the voice in your head, the thing
- 8:37that says I when you think about yourself. It creates
- 8:40your ego, the boundary between you and everything.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Else, your sense of self.
- 8:46Speaker 1: On psilocybin, that shuts down, not partially, not temporarily. The
- 8:53entire network goes offline. And when it does, something extraordinary happens.
- 9:00Regions that never talk to each other suddenly connect. The
- 9:04visual cortex starts communicating with areas that process emotion. Memory
- 9:09centers link up with parts that control body awareness. It's
- 9:13like every neighborhood in a city suddenly building roads to
- 9:16every other neighborhood. Robin Carhart Harris at Imperial College London
- 9:21discovered this in twenty twelve.
- 9:23Speaker 2: He called it neural anarchy.
- 9:25Speaker 1: But it wasn't anarchy, it wasn't chaotic, It was reorganization.
- 9:31The connections formed during these psychedelic experiences don't just disappear
- 9:35when the drug wears off. Brain scans show new neural
- 9:39pathways remaining active for weeks, sometimes months. In some cases,
- 9:44the changes appear permanent. Johns Hopkins researchers found something even stranger.
- 9:49People who took psilocybin in controlled settings showed lasting personality changes,
- 9:55not mood changes, personality changes. They became more open, more creative,
- 10:01more connected to others.
- 10:03Speaker 2: This shouldn't be possible.
- 10:04Speaker 1: Personality is supposed to be fixed by age thirty, but
- 10:07psilocybin rewrote that rule.
- 10:10Speaker 2: And here's what really puzzled scientists.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Silace In what psilocybin becomes in your body fits into
- 10:16human serotonin receptors perfectly, not approximately perfectly, like a key
- 10:22design for a specific lock. We share about fifty percent
- 10:27of our DNA with mushrooms. We split from a common
- 10:30ancestor over a billion years ago. Yet somehow these fungi
- 10:34produce a compound that seems tailor made for the human brain.
- 10:38Paul Stavitz, the world's leading mushroom expert, thinks this is
- 10:42an a coincidence. He believes humans and mushrooms have been
- 10:46evolving together, what he calls co evolution. Brain scans prove
- 10:51psilocybin creates new neural connections. They prove it dissolves old patterns.
- 10:56They prove it fundamentally changes how we think. But ancient
- 10:59civilis nations didn't need MRI machines to know this. They'd
- 11:03been using mushrooms for thousands of years. They saw them
- 11:07as technology, sacred technology, a way to communicate with other realms,
- 11:12a way to speak with our ancestors. They saw mushrooms
- 11:15as a way to speak to God. For two thousand years,
- 11:25it was Greece's most sacred secret, the Elusinian Mysteries. Every September,
- 11:30thousands of Greeks made a pilgrimage to Eleusis. Peasants and emperors,
- 11:34philosophers and warriors. They all came for one thing, to
- 11:38drink the kaikion and see the truth. Plato went, Aristotle went,
- 11:43so did Sophocles. Cicero drank the chaikion, so did Commudists,
- 11:47Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius. They never wrote about what they saw,
- 11:51not specifically, but they all said the same thing. The
- 11:55experience changed them forever. It revealed the secret of death
- 11:59and showed them in their place in the cosmos. For centuries,
- 12:02nobody knew what was in the Kaikian or Kaikion. Then
- 12:06in nineteen seventy eight, researchers cracked the code. The drink
- 12:10contained ergot, a fungus that grows on grains. Specifically, rye
- 12:14ergot contains lysergic acid amid, another psychedelic natural LSD. The
- 12:20Greeks weren't alone. The Aztecs had a word form mushrooms,
- 12:24taio nanocadal. It means flesh of the gods. They used
- 12:27psilocybin mexicana in religious ceremonies. Spanish conquistadors witnessed these rituals
- 12:33in the fifteen hundreds, and what they saw terrified them.
- 12:37Indigenous people eating mushrooms and speaking directly to their gods,
- 12:41no priests, no intermediaries, just direct divine contact.
- 12:46Speaker 2: The Spanish destroyed.
- 12:47Speaker 1: Every mushroom temple they found, burned every codex that mentioned them.
- 12:51Made mushroom use punishable by death, but they couldn't destroy everything.
- 12:56The Mazatec people of Iwaka kept the mushroom ceremonies alive,
- 13:00hidden in mountain caves, passed down through generations of healers
- 13:04for four hundred years. They protected this knowledge. And this
- 13:07wasn't just the Americas. Vedic texts from ancient India describe soma,
- 13:12a divine plant that granted immortality and wisdom. Scholars debated
- 13:16what soma was for decades.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Then R.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Gordon Wasson made a connection. The descriptions matched Amanita maskaria,
- 13:25the red and white mushrooms that are in all the
- 13:27fairy tales. Siberian Shamans used the same mushroom. They fed
- 13:31it to reindeer, then drank the reindeer's urine. The reindeer's
- 13:35body filtered out the toxins but kept the psychoactive compounds.
- 13:39Shamans could fly across the sky and visit other worlds,
- 13:43all powered by reindeer p Even the Bible might contain
- 13:47mushroom references. Moses met God at a burning bush. The
- 13:51bush was probably acacia. Akasha contains dmt. When burned and inhaled,
- 13:57DMT produces visions that last about fifteen minutes, exactly how
- 14:01long Moses spoke with God. The mana that fed the
- 14:04Israelites in the desert. It appeared overnight, it had to
- 14:08be collected before sunrise. It gave people visions. This is
- 14:12how mushrooms operate. John Marco Allegro was a Dead Sea
- 14:16squirrel scholar. He proposed that early Christianity was a mushroom cult,
- 14:20that the Last Supper wasn't bread and wine, it was mushrooms.
- 14:24The body and blood of Christ were actually the cap
- 14:27and stem of Amanita muscaria. The Vatican destroyed Allegro's career
- 14:31for that theory. Every civilization throughout history knew the power
- 14:35of mushrooms, and every authority that rose to power tried
- 14:39to destroy that secret knowledge. They almost succeeded, but in
- 14:43nineteen fifty seven, Life magazine published an article that reached
- 14:47six million Americans. The headline read, seeking the Magic Mushroom,
- 14:52and now.
- 14:52Speaker 2: The secret was out.
- 15:02Speaker 1: Our Gordon Wasson was a banker vice president at JP Morgan,
- 15:06not the kind of person you'd expect to resurrect ancient
- 15:09mushroom knowledge.
- 15:10Speaker 2: But in nineteen fifty five.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Wasson and his wife Valentina traveled to Ajuaca, Mexico. They
- 15:16heard rumors about mushroom ceremonies, sacred rituals that survived the
- 15:20Spanish conquest. They found Maria Sabina. She was a mazatec healer,
- 15:25a corndera. For generations, her family had protected the mushrooms traditions.
- 15:30She rarely allowed outsiders into the ceremonies, but something about
- 15:34the Wassons made her break that rule. On June twenty ninth,
- 15:37nineteen fifty five, Wasson became the first known white person
- 15:41to participate in a mushroom ceremony. Maria Sabina served them
- 15:45Ssilosivia Mexicana on a leaf she chanted in mazatech. The
- 15:49room was filled with incense. Then the visions began. Wasson
- 15:54saw geometric patterns, palaces made of light.
- 15:57Speaker 2: He felt his soul leave his body.
- 16:00Speaker 1: He understood for the first time what the word ecstasy
- 16:03actually meant. Not happiness, but standing outside yourself, seeing reality
- 16:09from a perspective that normal consciousness just doesn't allow. The
- 16:13experience lasted six hours, but it changed Wasson forever. Two
- 16:18years later, Life magazine published his account seeking the Magic
- 16:22mushroom It hit newsstands on May thirteenth, nineteen fifty seven,
- 16:26Six million Americans read about mushrooms that could expand consciousness,
- 16:30show them God, reveal secrets about life, the universe, and
- 16:33their place in it. The psychedelic revolution had begun. Timothy
- 16:38Leary read that article, so did Richard Albert. They started
- 16:42the Harvard Psilocybin Project in nineteen sixty. They gave mushrooms
- 16:45to graduate students, prisoners, divinity students. Everyone reported profound experiences,
- 16:51life changing revelations. Then came the Good Friday Experiment. On
- 16:56April twentieth, nineteen sixty two, twenty Divinity students gathered in
- 17:00Boston University's marsh Chapel. Half received psilocybin, half got placebos.
- 17:06The results were undeniable. Nine of ten students who took
- 17:10psilocybin reported mystical experiences. They filled unity with all existence,
- 17:16direct contact with the divine time dissolved, the boundaries between
- 17:21self and universe disappeared. Twenty five years later, researchers tracked
- 17:25down those students. They still ranked that Good Friday as
- 17:29one of the most spiritually significant experiences of their lives,
- 17:33but the establishment paniced By nineteen sixty eight, psilocybin was illegal.
- 17:38Research stopped. The mushroom renaissance seemed over. It wasn't underground.
- 17:43Therapists kept using psilocybin. They treated depression addiction PTSD. They
- 17:48just couldn't publish their results. Then, in two thousand and six, JOHNS.
- 17:52Hopkins published the first legal psilocybin study in forty years.
- 17:56The results shocked the medical establishment. A single psilocybin created
- 18:01lasting positive personality changes. People became more open, more creative,
- 18:06more connected. By twenty eighteen, the FDA designated psilocybin as
- 18:10a breakthrough therapy for depression. Studies showed seventy percent remission rates.
- 18:16Compare that to thirty percent for standard antidepressants, which come
- 18:20with all kinds of side effects. Terminal cancer patients lost
- 18:23their fear of death after one session, Addiction rates plummeted,
- 18:27PTSD symptoms vanished. The mushrooms that transformed consciousness one hundred
- 18:32thousand years ago were transforming it again. The stone to
- 18:44ape theory captivated millions of people. It offered a simple
- 18:48answer to humanity's biggest mystery. Magic mushrooms made us human.
- 18:53But there's a problem, A big one. Evolution doesn't work
- 18:57that way. Here's what we know is true. Psilocybin mushrooms
- 19:01enhance vision. Rowan Fisher prove that at Harvard. They increased
- 19:05social bonding, They dissolve ego boundaries, they create new neural pathways.
- 19:09Modern brain scans confirm all of this. We also know
- 19:13early humans encountered these mushrooms. Psilocybecubensus grows in cattle dung
- 19:18all across Africa.
- 19:19Speaker 2: Our ancestors followed those herds.
- 19:21Speaker 1: They were hungry. They would have eaten these mushrooms. McKenna
- 19:25got all that right, But here's where the theory gets shaky.
- 19:29Any changes psilocybin caused in an individual's brain couldn't be
- 19:33passed to their children.
- 19:34Speaker 2: That's Lamarckian evolution. It was disproven one hundred years ago.
- 19:38Speaker 1: If you take steroids and build huge muscles, your kids
- 19:41aren't born muscular. If you learn French, your children don't
- 19:44speak it automatically. And if mushrooms expand your consciousness, that
- 19:48expansion doesn't transfer to your offspring. Genetics doesn't work that way.
- 19:53Speaker 2: It never has. There's another problem.
- 19:55Speaker 1: McKenna claimed Fisher's research supported this evolutionary theory, but Fisher
- 20:00never said that he studied perception.
- 20:03Speaker 2: Not evolution.
- 20:04Speaker 1: McKenna took the data and ran with it in a
- 20:06direction Fisher never intended. And then there's the evidence that
- 20:10should exist, but does it. If psychedelics drove human evolution,
- 20:14we'd see the most advanced cognition and cultures that use
- 20:16them extensively. The Aztecs used mushrooms for centuries, so did
- 20:21Amazonian tribes. The Mastec people never stopped using them. These
- 20:25cultures created art, mythology, and complex spiritual systems, but they
- 20:32didn't develop advanced technology or scientific thinking faster than cultures
- 20:36without psychedelics. So McKenna was wrong, but he might have
- 20:41been wrong in an interesting way. Some researchers propose a
- 20:45different model, not genetic evolution, but cultural evolution. Mushrooms didn't
- 20:50change our DNA. They changed our software, not our hardware.
- 20:55Speaker 2: And think about it.
- 20:56Speaker 1: Every culture that used psychedelics developed music, art, and religion.
- 21:00They created rituals and mythologies. They built complex social structures
- 21:05around shared experiences. Maybe that's what mushrooms gave us, not
- 21:09bigger brains, bigger hearts, bigger ideas. The new Stone ape
- 21:14theory focuses on consciousness as an immersion property. Psychedelics didn't
- 21:19evolve the brain. They revealed what the brain could already do,
- 21:23like finding a hidden feature in software you've used for years.
- 21:26This fits better with the evidence. It explains why mushrooms
- 21:31create long lasting personality changes, why they increase creativity and openness,
- 21:36and why every culture that found them considered them sacred.
- 21:39Paul Stammitz takes it further. He says, we're still co
- 21:43evolving with mushrooms, not genetically but culturally. As we rediscover psychedelics,
- 21:49they're reshaping society again, mental health treatment, creativity enhancement, spiritual exploration.
- 21:56The mushroom renaissance isn't just about medicine. It's about consciousness itself.
- 22:01McKenna asked the wrong question. It wasn't how did mushrooms
- 22:04create human consciousness? The real question is what is consciousness
- 22:09and why do mushrooms affect it so profoundly?
- 22:13Speaker 2: We don't know.
- 22:14Speaker 1: After decades of research, consciousness remains the hard problem. We
- 22:19can map every neuron, scan every synapse and still not
- 22:22understand how flesh becomes thought. But we know this, something
- 22:27in mushrooms speaks directly to something in us. After a
- 22:30billion years of separate evolution. That connection to consciousness remains consciousness.
- 22:37If you think about it, is lonely. We're the only
- 22:39species that knows it even exists, that knows it will end.
- 22:44Maybe that's why every culture that found mushrooms called them sacred.
- 22:47Not because they made us human, but because they made
- 22:50us feel less alone, connected to something else, connected to
- 22:55something bigger, connected to everyone. The stoneap theory may be wrong,
- 23:00but it made us think differently. It made us reevaluate
- 23:04consciousness and how it arises, how it emerges. It made
- 23:08us think about our connections to each other and about
- 23:11connections to a greater universe, a universe full of energy
- 23:15and thought and kindness and love.
- 23:18Speaker 2: So right or wrong, the stone Aape theory is important,
- 23:22and believe it or not, it changed everything.

- 25:03live streams every week just for you, and the whole
- 25:06Wi File's team is on the stream, and you're welcome
- 25:08to turn on your camera, jump up on stage, ask

- 25:12Speaker 1: Another great way to support the channel is grab something
- 25:15for the Wi file store, and I do everything I
- 25:17can and keep those prices as low as possible. No
- 25:20thirty dollars t shirts, seventy dollars sweatshirts. I mean I
- 25:23saw coffee mugs for forty bucks on a creator's channel.
- 25:27Speaker 2: I don't do that.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Plus, if you've become a member on YouTube for three bucks,
- 25:31you get ten percent off everything in the why files
- 25:33store forever. And if you want to join for just
- 25:35one month just to get the coupon code, then cancel.
- 25:37That's totally fine. The YouTube membership is meant to save
- 25:41you money, not make me money. In fact, every dollar
- 25:43from YouTube memberships goes to the team.
