How did ancient civilizations figure out which plants and fungi were medicinal / psychoactive? Trial / error?
Ayahuasca, psilocybin mushrooms, cannabis, salicylic acid, to name a few, were all naturally occuring and readily consumed by humans thousands of years ago. How did ancient civilizations discover these things? What are the current hypothesis about this? For salicylic acid for example, it was found by grinding up the bark of a willow tree and ingesting it. Ayahuasca comes from combining two different plants to become psychoactive, and both components on their own don't do anything. It's hard to believe this was trial and error... what are the best theories out there about how this stuff was discovered? If you are unfamiliar with these substances, please see:

Trial and error. Every village would have a wise man/woman who knew which plants were good for what. The tribes had no idea how the science worked-they just knew if you rubbed a certain plant on a cut, or ate one, certain things would happen. Scientific methods of developing medicines are barely 100 years old. If you need proof of this, look at the medicine industry. Many of their discoveries today originate with primitive tribes, particularly in the Amazon. There are drug researchers all over the Amazon, Africa, and the Pacific islands looking for folk remedies that can be medicinized.
