The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge by Jeremy Narby

4.0

This was an incredibly charming, passionate book in the 'far out' McKenna style of thinking. Pretty decently annotated piece of puzzle in the multidisciplinary mystery of the origins of life, weaves together bits from anthropology, shamanism, neuroscience, molecular biology, you-name-it. It's an inspiring story, but no, I would not dare to lie the book back to back to Dawkins (they *both* would probably get offended)

Don't: if you expect rigorous scientific proofs, high level of details in molecular biology
Do: if you like to get inspired by a beautiful exploration of 'thinking out of the box' sprinkled with some science or maybe... just in general enjoy dropping 250μg once in a while
