Twenty years after his death, Clairvius Narcisse, a zombie from Haiti, stood staring down at his own tombstone.

The inscription was faded and barely legible. Narcisse was showing his grave to Harvard-trained Canadian anthropologist and ethno-botanist Wade Davis, whose key interest is the relationship between psychoactive plants and humans.

On April 30, 1962, Narcisse, then aged about 40, had presented at the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Deschapelles, Haiti. He was spitting…
