"A fascinating book."-James Ryerson, New York Times Book ReviewA Smithsonian Best Science Book of the YearWinner of the PROSE Award for Best Book in Language and LinguisticsCarved into our past and woven into our present, numbers shape our perceptions of the world far more than we think. In this sweeping account of how the invention of numbers sparked a revolution in human thought and culture, Caleb Everett draws on new discoveries in psychology, anthropology, and linguistics to reveal the many things made possible by numbers, from the concept of time to writing, agriculture, and commerce.Numbers are a tool, like the wheel, developed and refined over millennia.

Numbers is eye-opening, even eye-popping."-New Scientist"A powerful and convincing case for Everett's main thesis: that numbers are neither natural nor innate to humans."-Wall Street Journal.…
