I picked this book up from Columbia Public Library.  I kind of knew what I was getting into, but I thought the premise was interesting, so I grabbed it.  The idea is that all human beings are as suited for math and they are for language, as it is the same mental faculties that allow for each.  I liked that idea, but I couldn’t get through the book.  For me, it was too heavy on speculative evolution.  About half way through, I just started skimming, which I hate to do, but my checkout list is long and it didn’t keep me. 

I though linking language and math would be my kind of book, but my idea of humanity diverged too far from his to wade through so many chapters.
