The female body in human evolution

Cat Bohannon’s young adult adaptation traces the role of the female body across a 200-million-year account of human evolution, connecting that history with questions about biology and contemporary debates. The book examines topics including differences in longevity and academic performance, claims about the brain, and the effects of adolescent brain development and shifting hormones on mental health. It also discusses the roots of sexism, presenting the author’s argument that evolutionary explanations do not justify carrying sexism into the present. The subject links the body’s history to current conversations about science, gender, and young people’s health.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in human evolution and the biology of the body
  • Readers curious about adolescent brain development, hormones, and mental health

Book overview

The groundbreaking New York Times bestseller is now adapted for young adults! This is the 200-million-year story of how the female body gave rise to the human species and forever shaped life on Earth and what that means for us in the future.

Why do women live longer than men? Why do girls score better at every academic subject than boys until puberty, when suddenly their scores plummet? Is the female brain "wired differently?" These questions and common debates around scientific claims are thoughtfully examined in this adaptation perfect for young people.

This brand-new adaptation is a friendly, funny, and engaging read. It explores teen related topics such as mental health and the biology behind it, including insights on how adolescent brains are going through all kinds of changes, and shifting hormones. Author Cat Bohannon explains the roots of sexism and shows how, though it may have even served some evolutionary purpose long ago, it no longer serves us today, and it's high time we leave it in the past.

Filled with amazing stories of both past and present, Eve will delight any young reader looking to understand the body--its amazing history, its wondrous capability, its oddities and mysteries, and its relevance to so many issues captivating contemporary thought and discussion.
