Eve : How The Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution

by Cat Bohannon, Unknown Author

In 'Eve', Cat Bohannon tackles questions scientists have long overlooked, like how wet nurses influenced civilization, if women are inherently weaker, and if sexism has evolutionary benefits. With a blend of curiosity and wit, she explores the past 200 million years to explain the science behind female body development. This book isn't just a revision of human history, but a crucial correction for a world that's focused too much on the male body. Bohannon's discoveries, from how C-sections reshape women's pelvises to the surprising link between pus and breast milk, will challenge your understanding of evolution and Homo sapiens' success.
