Why is it that even amidst affluence and power, our culture is plagued by a variety of addiction? In this pioneering book, the author searchers for answers by giving serious attention to our genetic legacy from our hunter-gatherer ancestors as well as to the unique ways we adapt to our environment through the practice of science addiction - including drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, and gambling - suggesting that wilderness exploration, in the arts, myths, and ceremonies, can help us rediscover what it means to be human creatures. Bringing together the insights of philosophy, religion, cultural anthropology, behavioural biology, and the vast socio-medical literature on addiction. The author ingeniously explores the limits of our adaptive capacity and the costs of depleting the natural regenerative functions of the body.
