# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Truth-Seekers Thursday: Exploring the Stoned Ape Hypothesis
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 04 Jun, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for Truth Seekers Thursday on June 4 at 6:30 PM as we dive into one of the most curious ideas in human evolution: Terence McKenna’s Stoned Ape Hypothesis.

What if the rapid growth of the human brain, the birth of language, art, and culture were sparked not just by tools or fire — but by our ancient ancestors consuming psychedelic mushrooms on the African savanna? 

In this discussion, we’ll explore McKenna’s theory, examine the latest scientific research on psilocybin and neuroplasticity, review supporting evidence, and honestly address the criticisms.

Expect a light and balanced conversation that blends anthropology, neuroscience, history, and philosophy. 

Full menu available before and after the discussion.

Doors open at 3:00 PM | Discussion begins at 6:30 PM

All are welcome.

Truth-Seekers Thursday is designed for curious minds who enjoy respectful dialogue. Topics vary each week.

Stay Rooted in Community,
