Book Reviews of Food of the Gods: The Search for the Original Tree of Knowledge A Radical History of Plants, Drugs, and Human Evolution

Book Review: If you are into evolution this is a must!
Summary: 4 Stars

This book deals with a controversial subject usually left unexplained, the moment primates acquired consciousness and evolved into humans. Remember the movie 2001 Space Odyssey? The moment where the monkeys touch the monolith and jump forward in evolution? Well, this book talks about more or less the same thing, but with mushrooms and other hallucinogens instead of monoliths. I enjoyed every page, and hoped it never end.
