One of the most amazing books of the year, this nonfiction tome travels the road of science and then departs where science dares not to tread--psychedelia. Hancock, a sterling reporter and writer, goes around the world sampling shamanic brews and finds a link between the visions the cause and the markings in early Cro-Magnon caves. He surmises, is this where religion came from? Is this the sudden jump that mankind made from Neanderthal to Cro-Magnon superiority.
I was fascinated from cover to cover--and I don't do drugs. I think Hancock is on to something that our government and establishment scientists don't want us to know.
A dangerous and necessary book. ( )

Fascinating. Brilliant. This book will change the way you think - about yourself, about history, about religion, about the paranormal, about the world. Highly recommended. ( )
