belligerent tribal societies
"Why do rain-forest societies tend to be peaceable and polytheistic, while desert dwellers (and their cultural descendants who dominate the planet) are belligerent and believe in one God?"
from a NYTimes review of- 'Monkeyluv': Primates Are People, Too by JAMIE SHREEVE I hope this book has some good research behind it on this point. I thought many of those tribes had very high murder rates, does anyone know of a reliable data source? luckyme, if I thought I was wrong, I'd change my mind, ... but I'd like a tad of proof first. |

Re: belligerent tribal societies
There are plants with better hallucinogenic properties in the rain forest than in the desert.

Re: belligerent tribal societies
Yeah, mescaline and hyosciamine-containing plants don't count.
Most naturalistic cultures employed the use of psychoactive substances for entheogenic purposes though not all contained tryptamine, phenethylamine, or other psychedelic/hallucigenic substances. |
