Description
A sweeping exploration of how the female body has shaped human evolution, this book draws on anthropology, biology, medicine, and evolutionary science to challenge long-standing assumptions about what it means to be human. Moving across deep time and from reproduction to aging, it examines the biological innovations, adaptations, and trade-offs that have influenced women’s lives and the development of our species. Accessible, rigorous, and often provocative, it reveals how research centered on male bodies has distorted our understanding of health, history, and evolution. The result is both a compelling scientific narrative and a powerful reconsideration of the forces that made us human.
