Review title:
|
very non conventional but shockingly fascinating ideas
|
|
|
Opinion:
|
Once home from the Amazon Narby made the decision to take at
face value the Indians' contention that plants gave them the
pharmaceutical knowledge they possess and in applying the
scientific method to their claims ended up with a incredible
and far reaching thesis about the nature of knowledge, DNA
and indeed ourselves. If you have any interests in altered
states of consciousness shamanism or new science you should
read this book
