Eve: How The Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution by Cat Bohannon

It's time for us to rewrite the story of what we are and how we came to be, no matter how weird or hilarious the truth is.

From the way we grow our nails to how we think, everything we call human is fundamentally shaped by how our bodies evolved. Whether we are in pain or joy, abled or disabled, in sickness and in health until death do we disassemble, our bodies and brains are simply what we are.

For too long, in a world largely built for and by men, women have been systematically ignored. In this bold and provocative book, Cat Bohannon deftly traces the evolution of women's bodies for the first time to unravel how each of our features really came to be. From tits to toes, Eve is a no-nonsense, hard-hitting account of the evolution of one half of a very young, complex and fascinating species. This book will radically change the way we understand our bodies - and the world around us.
