Summary:
"Why do women live longer than men? Why do women experience menopause? Why are women more likely to get Alzheimer’s? How did wet-nursing lead to the growth of civilization? Does the 'Female Brain' really exist? 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 science behind the development of the female sex. Tracing our current traits back to specific ancestors in our past, Bohannon tells the story of how women's bodies came to be so different from men's, even deep in our cells, and why this still matters for the human species. '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 wy Homo sapiens has become such a successful and dominant species, from tool use to city building to the development of language. (...)"--Jacket.
Cat Bohannon completed her PhD in 2022 at Columbia University, where she studied the evolution of narrative and cognition. Her essays and poems have appeared in Scientific American, Mind, Science Magazine, The Best American Nonrequired Reading, The Georgia Review, The Story Collider, and Poets Against the War.
