And 'the assertions of Michael Huffman, a professor of ethology of "Primate Research Institute," University of Kyoto, Japan, which we hear in a few days at the Genoa Science Festival.
A confirmation of what was thought for some time, ie the ability of many species of the animal world to be able to correctly identify those plants can cure different diseases.
Of course, the luminary is also convinced that the recruitment procedures have come by chance, without the animals if everyone realizes this and think for themselves because they seem to still be able to treat their fellow humans.
Let's talk about those plants that have a bitter taste because they contain toxic substances: Well, the result of experiments on gorillas and chimpanzees, there was evidence that primates, after accidentally ingesting the leaves of these plants and have benefited, would not been slow to join as healing.
Although this is an evolutionary process that characterizes those who want to survive.
Huffman, who is studying the matter for decades, has found that insects, especially larvae, instinctively ingest poisonous plants as a pesticide.
It is inappropriate to assume that the hominids, who walked on this planet before us, with the observation of primates have learned this art and then refining it: indeed, some mythological tales, such as those passed by the Navajo, it speak openly encouraging and confirmations come well from the testimonies of indigenous tribes.

in this sense is also interesting how the survey of Hancock on the primitive people have become aware of the hallucinogenic properties of some plants and especially how it was necessary to combine it with other plants that soprimessero the function of enzymes in our body that have the function of suppress the occurrence of altered states of consciousness.
Gianluca, I wanted to get there ... when it comes Hancock, in his latest book does is take the anthropologist Jeremy Narby's wonderful work, then condensed in the book "The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge" (Venexia, 2006). You should also say its Esquel, you think?
