Book Reviews of the The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge
Customer Review: Not good.
Summary: 1 Stars
I will be brief. The book has no scientific or logical foundation. I will not bother to denegrate shamanism, but would say that while avoiding Western-centrist thinking may be meritorious, abandoning logic and sound evidence does the argument no service. The author's professional identification crisis is amusing, and his abandonment of methodology makes this a good read for "Visionary Shamanic Trance" and "Chills & Thrills" (see reviews/personal testimonials below). I have to think that your average English major with a leaning toward mysticism will think this book "far out," while any person who is serious about science and/or logic will only be seriously annoyed
