Biological reincarnation, perhaps.
I think hallucinogens had a larger impact on human consciousness and evolution than some choose to believe. I anticipate that the advent of animal husbandry around 9000 B.C. brought our ancestors attention to the strange organisms protruding from the animal dung. Shamanism and ancient-Brahmanism followed soon after. I would imagine this first occurred in what is now modern Nepal.
