Episode #168. So Cool- have a listen to Cat Bohannon, Author of Eve, New York Times Best Seller. The definitive guide to the Female Body, Eve is the book women all over the world have been waiting for!
I am so excited to interview Cat Bohannon about her New York Times bestseller book Eve, How The Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution.
It is recognised as Foyle's Non-Fiction Book of the Year 2023 and is a groundbreaking exploration into the female side of human biology and history, long overlooked by scientific inquiry. Delving into provocative questions—such as the roles wet nurses have played in the development of civilizations, the inherent strength of women, the evolutionary benefits of sexism, and the complex relationship between motherhood and biology—Bohannon offers a comprehensive review of female biological development over the past 200 million years.
In Eve, Bohannon uses her incisive intelligence and engaging narrative style to challenge and expand our understanding of human history. She provides a crucial reevaluation that shifts focus away from male-centric studies, presenting compelling evidence on topics ranging from how modern C-sections are impacting the evolutionary shape of women’s pelvises to the unexpected biochemical kinship between pus and breast milk. Her research not only revises but also enriches our understanding of why Homo sapiens have thrived, influencing everything from tool use and urban development to language.
This book has been celebrated as a critical and urgent amendment to our historical narrative, earning accolades such as being longlisted for Blackwell's Non-Fiction Book of the Year 2023, and named a best book by The Guardian, Telegraph, and Prospect in 2023. Eve promises to transform your perspective on evolution and the pivotal role of the female body in the success of our species.
