Written by Terrence McKenna, "Food of the Gods" explores the profound impact of psychoactive plants and fungi on human evolution, consciousness, and culture. McKenna posits that the consumption of psilocybin mushrooms played a crucial role in the development of human language, abstract thought, and the very structure of our societies. The book delves into ancient shamanic practices, the historical use of psychedelics across various cultures, and offers a radical reinterpretation of human history, suggesting that our relationship with these substances has been a fundamental, yet often overlooked, driver of our species' journey.
