Probably the same way that curare was made — by throwing everything and the kitchen sink together and seeing if it works. Curare has what, 90% of ballast that does absolutely nothing? Or maybe a random hungry hunter-gatherer ate a few things that looked edible and had a "religious experience". What I'm saying is it shouldn't take much to combine the necessary ingredients without any help from "God". It's nothing compared to modern chemical synthesis with 50-100+ steps which you absolutely cannot invent without years of painful deliberate research.
