    Terence Kemp McKenna (November 16, 1946 – April 3, 2000) was an American writer, philosopher, and ethnobotanist, who advocated paths of shamanism, and the use of hallucinogenic substances (primarily plant-based psychedelics) as a means of increasing many forms of human awareness. His ideas often revolve around his novelty theory of the universe.In 1992 McKenna wrote ¨Food of the Gods: The Search for the Original Tree of Knowledge A Radical History of Plants, Drugs, and Human Evolution¨. In this book, he explains his “stoned ape hypothesis.” McKenna says P. cubensis contributed to the increase in brain size and capabilities of early human ancestors, leading to the evolution of Homo sapiens.



    Terence Kemp McKenna, né le 16 novembre 1946 à Paonia (Colorado) et mort le 3 avril 2000 à Hawaï, est un écrivain et philosophe américain qui se fait connaître pour ses spéculations sur des sujets allant du manuscrit de Voynich, aux origines de l'espèce humaine en passant par la théorie de la nouveauté, qui postule que le temps est une vague fractale de nouveauté croissante, théorie de l'eschatologie.Son concept apparaît comme impliquant un mélange de substances chimiques hallucinogènes, gaïaïsme et de chamanisme. Il éprouvait un intérêt particulier pour les substances psychédéliques et leur rôle dans la société ainsi que l'existence au-delà du corps physique.
