Now, in one of his most extraordinary journeys, Narby travels the globe - from the Amazon Basin to the Far East - to probe what traditional healers and pioneering researchers understand about the intelligence present in all forms of life. Intelligence in Nature presents overwhelming illustrative evidence that independent intelligence is not unique to humanity alone. Indeed, bacteria, plants, animals, and other forms of nonhuman life display an uncanny penchant for self-deterministic decisions, patterns, and actions. Narby presents the first in-depth anthropological study of this concept in the West. He not only uncovers a mysterious thread of intelligent behavior within the natural world but also probes the question of what humanity can learn from nature's economy and knowingness in its own search for a saner and more sustainable way of life. Members Reviews: Amazing Author I love Jeremy Narby; his research, and his writing are fantastic! Amazingly in-depth fresh perspective on the living creatures around us. For me it opened a perspective that I had before, but never quite knew how to process. Itâs good to know someone else is so interested in the same things. Check out âThe Cosmic Serpentâ by him as well. cdon A great book. Flows like a diary entry so it is very easy and is like being taken along on Narby's journey. What I liked about this book is his presentation of very different ideas that undermine those which our science and rationality are built on and opens up the possiblity of them not being to rational at all. Like, if other animals and even organisms have consciousness then there's so much more to learn and it can only be learnt outside of ourselves. A really great perspective and reveals an alternate way of being where more possibility may exist. An enjoyable read I enjoy Narby's discussions and observations. He is clearly searching for answers. This book is one for book club and it will surely spark discussion. He likes to tackle difficult questions and give a reader much to think about. He does skip around a bit, but he is never boring. I would recommend. Five Stars Not bad, makes you think. Intelligence in Nature Jeremy Narby presents an interesting perspective on "Mitakuye Oyasin" (lakota for "we are all related" plants, animals, humans, and the earth. Nature can teach us if we only learn to listen. Intelligence is much, much more than speaking; we have only to learn how to think about intelligence in a different way.
