Description

The female body has been neglected in anthropological narratives, minimized in the archeological record, and excluded from modern-day clinical trials. But what if that weren’t the case? How would our origin story change if we made women the protagonists? Cat Bohannon asked herself that question a decade ago. She has finally shared her answer in a New York Times bestselling book called “Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution.”
