Plant Teachers - the Pursuit of Knowledge - With Jeremy Narby & Patricia Falco Beccalli |
Jeremy Narby (born 1959 in Montreal, Quebec) is Canadian anthropologist and author of numerous book. We speak about his latest publication: Plant Teachers: Ayahuasca, Tobacco, and the Pursuit of Knowledge In his books, Narby examines shamanism, molecular biology, and shamans' knowledge of botanics and biology through the use of entheogens across many cultures. Narby grew up in Montreal, Quebec, and Switzerland. He studied history at the University of Kent at Canterbury. He has a PhD in anthropology from Stanford University and spent time in the Peruvian Amazon undertaking his PhD research starting in 1984. During those years living with the Ashaninca, Narby cateloguued indigenous uses of rainforest resources to help combat ecological destruction. Narby has written and edited five books, as well as sponsored an expedition to the rainforest for biologists and other scientists to examine indigenous knowledge systems and the utility of Ayahuasca in gaining knowledge. The resulting documentary film was Night of the Liana. Since 1989, Narby has been working as the Amazonian projects director for the Swiss Non-governmental organiation, Nouvelle Planète. Narby and three molecular biologists feature in the documentary Night of the Liana that documents them revising the Peruvian Amazon to test hypothesis presented in Intelligence in Nature.
