vinca

The hypothesis is not completely far out, the benzimidazoles interfere with microtubule assembly, and some chemotherapeutic agents in clinical practice (taxol, the vinca alcaloids) do the same.

It's doubtful if Vinca symbols recorded language by the definition of linguistics or were just graphics of another kind.

A friend of mine who is a biochemist recommended against Vinpocetine in his experience with vinca-alkaloids.

Still, even now, we have evidence of proto-writing at 6600BC at least (Jiahu shells), as well as the Vinca script and Dispilio tablet around 5200BC.

All the commonly used drugs, the mustards, the folate antagonists, the vinca alkaloids, the platinum drugs, the taxanes, camphotecins, anthracyclins and nitrosoureas, and combination therapy were discovered at universities, financed with public funds and brought to market by pharmaceutical companies.

No, there is a (more or less) steady increase of urban/social complexity from Gobekli Tepe to Vinca, Maykop and Eridu.

Vinca, nice flowers, but too aggressive also and non native.

This failure stands in stark contrast to the discovery in the late 1950s of a major group of plant-derived cancer drugs, the Vinca Alcaloids -a discovery that came about by chance, not through directed research.” — Happy Accidents: Serendipity in Modern Medical Breakthroughs.

Besides that, these past lives are always royalty or something, never "I was a janitor in Mohenjo Daro", or "my life as a 12 year old concubine of a regional chief in the Vinca Culture".

Because if you wanted to go there, the oldest proto-writings aren't from the indus valley civilization (including the only ~3000 BC sumerian/egyption), but from 7000 BC China, 6000 BC Central/SouthEastern Europe, and 6000 BC Greece, in the Jiahu, Vinca, and Dispillo respectively.
