What We Are Reading Today: First Steps by Jeremy DeSilva

In “First Steps,” Jeremy DeSilva shows how upright walking was a gateway to many of the other attributes that make us human, from our technological abilities, our thirst for exploration, our use of  language and may have laid the foundation for our species, traits of compassion, empathy, and altruism. The book also examines how walking upright helped us rise above all over species on this planet.
