The Upright Thinkers: The Human Journey from Living in Trees to Understanding the Cosmos   Leonard Mlodinow
Disappointing book supposedly about human intellectual development. I was really excited about it because of the great title. Turned out that Mlodinow only briefly skimmed over human origins. Also, he presented an irritatingly adolescent view of human thought, the tired idea that current science is the smartest humans have even been, he even disparages Aristotle for not using the scientific method. Too bad the title was the best thing about this book.
