Food of the Gods: The Search for the Original Tree of Knowledge, A Radical History of Plants, Drugs, and Human Evolution is a non-fiction book written by ethnobotanist Terence McKenna, first published in 1992. The book explores the relationship between humans and psychoactive plants throughout history, presenting a radical hypothesis about the role that these substances may have played in human evolution, culture, and consciousness. McKennals explores the broader implications of plant-based consciousness alteration, suggesting that humanity's alienation from the natural world and its disconnection from sacred, plant-based traditions have contributed to environmental and societal crises.
