Thumbs, Toes and Tears was translated into multiple languages including Polish, German, Chinese and Japanese. It explores the fascinating evolutionary links between six seemingly unremarkable traits that make us the very remarkable creatures we are.

Six traits are unique to the human race―our big toe, our opposable thumb, our oddly shaped pharynx, and our ability to laugh, kiss, and cry. At first glance these may not seem to be connected but they are. Each marks a fork in the evolutionary road where we went one way and the rest of the animal kingdom went another.

Walter weaves together fascinating insights from complexity theory, the latest brain scanning techniques, anthropology, artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, and robotics to explore how the smallest of changes over the past six million years – all shaped by the forces of evolution -- have enabled a primate once on the brink of extinction to evolve into a creature that would one day create all of the grand and exuberant edifices of human culture.

Thumbs, Toes and Tears is original, informative, and delightfully thought-provoking. We have a few paperback Chinese versions of this signed first edition.
