Darwin's pharmacy : sex, plants, and the evolution of the noosphere

by Richard Doyle

This study examines the evolutionary relationship between humans and psychedelic plants, proposing that these substances function as aids to discourse and sexual selection. It analyses the role of ecodelic thought in shaping consciousness and environmental awareness.
