Show Notes
Terence McKenna was one of the most influential psychedelic advocates of the modern era. We read his seminal work, Food of the Gods, in which he proposes a radical explanation for the origins of our species: Stoned Ape Theory. Influenced by his transcendental experiences with shamans in Central and South America, McKenna suggests the process of evolution from primates to early hominids and the radical cultural evolution of Homo sapiens was catalysed by our symbiotic relationship with psychedelic plants, particularly psilocybin-containing mushrooms. He proposes that the environmental destruction of our planet and many of our modern sociopolitical illnesses can be addressed by a mass movement to reintegrate the use psychedelic plants into our culture.
