Dont read this book if you are good in mathematics. Most of the book progresses in a very apologetic tone for 'our' incapability in mathematics, and aims to constantly reassure the reader that its not his fault.Very little new ideas here, which one would not come across in Chomsky and other more serious linguists like Pinker. Nothing here about the gene either, which one would not come across in any moderately decent book such as Dawkins, on genetics.This book is avoidable, ... unless you want someone to tell you not to feel bad about scoring zero in Math
