Darwin's Pharmacy: Sex, Plants, and the Evolution of the Noosphere

By Richard M. Doyle

Categories: Religion & Spirituality, Science & Math

Penn State professor Richard M. Doyle examines psychedelic plants and experience through the lens of evolution, rhetoric and ecology. He argues that psychedelics may have worked like the flowers Darwin studied, as signals in a process of sexual selection that shaped human language and consciousness, and he asks what such experiences can teach a species facing global ecological crisis.
