Is this a certainty? Depending on how we define the dawn of "love," it seems at least vaguely plausible that it occurred after the first human consumption of coca. Of course if we're specifically talking about isolated cocaine then you're correct for sure.
- rosser 11y agoCoca is a "new world" plant, growing only in the Andes mountains. As best we can tell, there've only been homo sapiens sapiens on that continent for a few tens of thousands of years, at the outside. The hormonal basis for the phenomenon we call "love" is without doubt older than that.
- jMyles 11y agoWe don't really know though, right? Coca may have been Pangaeal. There's a lot about the prehistory of plant medicine that's difficult to really know.
