'A vast and revolutionary history of female evolution' Sunday Times

How did wet nurses drive civilization? Are women always the weaker sex? Is sexism useful for evolution? And are our bodies at war with our babies?

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 specific science behind the development of the female sex. 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 why Homo sapiens have become such a successful and dominant species, from tool use to city building to the development of language.

Eve
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION FINALIST • THE REAL ORIGIN OF OUR SPECIES: a myth-busting, eye-opening landmark account of how humans evolved, offering a paradigm shift in our thinking about what the female body is, how it came to be, and how this evolution still shapes all our lives today   “A page-turning whistle-stop tour of mammalian development that begins in the Jurassic Era, Eve recasts the traditional story of evolutionary biology by placing women at its center…. The book is engaging, playful, erudite, discursive and rich with detail." —Sarah Lyall, The New York Times “A smart, funny, scientific deep-dive into the power of a woman’s body, Eve surprises, educates, and emboldens.”—Bonnie Garmus, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Lessons in Chemistry   How did the female body drive 200 million years of human evolution? • Why do women live longer than men? • Why are women more likely to get Alzheimer’s? • Why do girls score better at every academic subject than boys until puberty, when suddenly their scores plummet? • Is sexism useful for evolution? • And why, seriously why, do women have to sweat through our sheets every night when we hit menopause?   These questions are producing some truly exciting science – and in Eve, with boundless curiosity and sharp wit, Cat Bohannon covers the past 200 million years to explain the specific science behind the development of the female sex: “We need a kind of user's manual for the female mammal. A no-nonsense, hard-hitting, seriously researched (but readable) account of what we are. How female bodies evolved, how they work, what it really means to biologically be a woman. Something that would rewrite the story of womanhood. This book is that story. We have to put the female body in the picture. If we don't, it's not just feminism that's compromised. Modern medicine, neurobiology, paleoanthropology, even evolutionary biology all take a hit when we ignore the fact that half of us have breasts. So it's time we talk about breasts. Breasts, and blood, and fat, and vaginas, and wombs—all of it. How they came to be and how we live with them now, no matter how weird or hilarious the truth is.”   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. Picking up where Sapiens left off, Eve will completely change what you think you know about evolution and why Homo sapiens has become such a successful and dominant species.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NOMINIERT FÜR DEN WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2024 FOYLE'S SACHBUCH DES JAHRES 2023 UNTER DEN GUARDIAN'S BEST IDEAS BOOKS OF 2023 UNTER DEN TELEGRAPH'S FIFTY BEST BOOKS OF 2023: Ein völlig neuer Blick auf den Ursprung der Menschheit, der unser Denken über den weiblichen Körper grundlegend verändern wird: »EVA überrascht, klärt auf und macht Mut.« - Bonnie Garmus, Bestsellerautorin von »Eine Frage der Chemie« Warum menstruieren Frauen? Sind sie immer das schwächere Geschlecht? Ist Sexismus nützlich für die Evolution? Und wie haben Ammen die Zivilisation vorangetrieben? Viel zu lange hat sich die Wissenschaft fast ausschließlich auf den männlichen Körper konzentriert. Erst in den vergangenen 15 Jahren haben Forscher verschiedener Fachbereiche neue spannende Entdeckungen dazu gemacht, wie sich der weibliche Körper in den letzten 200 Millionen Jahren entwickelt hat, wie er funktioniert und was es wirklich bedeutet, biologisch eine Frau zu sein. Auf der Basis dieser Erkenntnisse unternimmt die Forscherin und Journalistin Cat Bohannon eine Neubeschreibung der Geschichte des Frauseins. Akribisch recherchiert und lebendig erzählt zeichnet sie den Entwicklungsverlauf des weiblichen Körpers nach und rückt dabei unser Wissen über die Evolution und darüber, warum der Homo sapiens eine so erfolgreiche und dominante Spezies geworden ist, in ein ganz neues Licht. »Eva« knüpft dort an, wo Hararis »Sapiens« aufgehört hat. Das Buch ist nicht nur eine tiefgreifende Revision der Menschheitsgeschichte, sondern auch ein dringend notwendiges Korrektiv für eine Welt, die bis vor kurzem vor allem den Mann im Blick hatte. Ausstattung: mit 23 S/W-Abb.

Eva. Come il corpo femminile ha plasmato l'evoluzione umana (Ingrandimenti)
Nel corso di centinaia di migliaia di anni, le donne hanno sviluppato nasi più sensibili, un udito più fine alle alte frequenze, una visione dei colori più estesa e un'aspettativa di vita più lunga di ben mezzo decennio rispetto agli uomini. Eppure, in un mondo per troppo tempo dominato dalla 'norma maschile', le scienze biologiche hanno mantenuto come unico paradigma di riferimento in laboratorio il corpo maschile, da quello del topo a quello di Homo sapiens. Ma 'la nostra specie comprende sessi distinti e distinguibili' e non tenere conto di queste differenze vuol dire considerare meno della metà di un quadro complicato. Oggi, però, è in corso una rivoluzione e gli studi su come si è evoluto il corpo femminile, come funziona, cosa significhi essere biologicamente donna si stanno moltiplicando. Basandosi sulle più recenti scoperte in ambito scientifico, la ricercatrice della Columbia University Cat Bohannon ripercorre gli ultimi 200 milioni di anni della nostra evoluzione e ne propone una nuova chiave di lettura, che implica una profonda revisione, nonché un cambio di paradigma, della storia umana. Protagoniste di questo libro sono le Eve ancestrali, le più remote antenate delle donne di oggi. Attraverso di loro, con curiosità sconfinata e penetrante capacità di analisi, Bohannon risponde a molte domande sull'essere donna, in passato come oggi, portando alla luce sorprendenti rivelazioni e stimolando profonde riflessioni. Perché le donne vanno in menopausa? Perché hanno una maggiore possibilità di avere l'Alzheimer? Esiste davvero un 'cervello femminile'? E cosa c'entrano le balie con lo sviluppo della civiltà? Una potente narrazione, una correzione urgente e necessaria della storia dell'evoluzione, per conoscere ancor meglio noi stessi come specie e capire cosa significhi davvero essere umani.
