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.
