Food Of The Gods

Food Of The Gods: A Radical History of Plants, Psychedelics and Human Evolution

A journey into the rituals of remote cultures, the habits of primates, and the depths of human fascination with altered states of consciousness. Ethnobotanist Terence McKenna embarks on an extraordinary quest to discover the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, exploring the origins of our species and our place in nature.

Food of the Gods offers a fascinating history of consciousness, exploring the following:

• The rituals of the Bwiti cults.
• The eating habits of ‘stoned’ apes and chimpanzees.
• A vision for individual fulfillment and a humane basis for our interaction with each other and the natural world.

A daring work of scholarship and exploration.
