Psychedelic Substances Are the Origin of Religion

A lot of evolutionary linguistics uses what I'd call first contact scenarios. So the idea is that you've landed on an alien planet. You need to communicate with these aliens. How do you go about doing it? Because that's very, very similar to the scenario of you are a humanoid ancestor who doesn't have language. And then that leads us into a space where we can start thinking about what's possible. It's not a perfect metaphor because the aliens potentially have language and I have language if I go an London alien planet. The humans might share things, but art language with each other. Yeah.
