Yes my answer was it's deep rooted into our brains because our ancesters tripped so much.
Or not. You have your theory, I don't have to accept it.
What do you think the ancesters did before beer and mead?

It doesn't really matter what they did and at the moment it's largely speculative, unless you know of any finds or research to back up the assertion that prehistoric people spent all their time tripping.

Either way it doesn't prove that rock art motifs were a result of use of hallucinogens. As various people have said in this thread, there are other explanations which have to be considered as equally plausible.
