摘要

On a break from college, Wade Davis, age 20 at the time, crossed the Darien Gap-the roadless, desolate, and dangerous 100-mile stretch of swamp that divides Central from South America. He was clueless, compassless, and on foot. And yet somehow he was chosen to be his group's guide. His swagger certainly helped. At 26 (and still alive), Davis entered graduate school under Harvard University's legendary Richard Evans Schultes in the field of ethnobotany, where he learned to search for new medicines from the plants that indigenous peoples use. But merely cataloging plants was not his style, so he applied for a doctoral dissertation grant to discover the recipe for zombie poison in Haiti. He got the grant-along with a note from the academic reviewers that said, "Davis must be told he will be killed if he tries to do this work."
