Eve

Eve (2023) is a witty corrective to human evolution, spanning 200 million years of biology. Asking why science overlooked key questions about female bodies, it upends male-centric assumptions about how our species evolved. Ranging from wet nurses to C-sections, these musings will change what you think you know about evolution.

• Readers interested in evolutionary biology and the history of the female body
• Feminists seeking greater scientific understanding of human evolution
• Students and academics studying gender, reproduction, and human development
