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.

Shamanism has been prevalent in a variety of places. Russia. North America. South America. Africa. Scandinavia.
Nepal definitely didn't get the first psycilocybin mushrooms though lol. And they didn't make Buddhism, or Brahmanism. Brahma is a Hindu God. Hinduism originated in India. Buddhism is an off-shoot of Hinduism, as Budda was the reincarnation of Krishna. After being a successful warmongering civilization, the Tibetan Warlords hung up their swords and took up the pen. They developed Tibetan Buddhism, which the Dalai Lama is the leader of.
