Upright Thinkers: The Human Journey from Living in Trees to Understanding the Cosmos

When humans came down from living in trees and started to stand upright, our hands became free to create tools and our minds began to think about the world around us. This book offers a tour through the history of our species and shows how our unique characteristics helped us evolve from tree-dwelling primates to uses of stone tools, to writers with language that led to modern science and technology. This book considers creative thinking in our history and its impact on culture, science, and evolution and is a great read for anyone interested in our continued quest to understand the world.
