A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER'Funny and very important'. Chris van Tulleken, bestseling author of Ultra-Processed People. 'Educates and emboldens'. Bonnie Garmus, bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry. 'Should revolutionise our understanding of human life'. George Monbiot, bestselling author of Regenesis. 'A vast and revolutionary history of female evolution'. Sunday Times. How did wet nurses drive civilization. Are women always the weaker sex. Is sexism useful for evolution. And are our bodies at war with our babies. In Eve,. Cat Bohannon answers questions scientists should have been addressing for decades. With boundless curiosity and sharp wit, she covers the past 200 million years to explain the specific science behind the development of the female sex. Eve. is not only a sweeping revision of human history, it's an urgent and necessary corrective for a world that has focused primarily on the male body for far too long. Bohannon's findings, including everything from the way C-sections in the industrialized world are rearranging women's pelvic shape to the surprising similarities between pus and breast milk, will completely change what you think you know about evolution and why Homo sapiens have become such a successful and dominant species, from tool use to city building to the development of language.
