书籍简介
女性身体是如何推动人类 2 亿年进化的？- 为什么女性比男性长寿？- 为什么女性更容易患老年痴呆症？- 为什么在青春期之前，女孩的各科成绩都比男孩好，而到了青春期，她们的成绩却突然一落千丈？
这些问题正在产生一些真正令人兴奋的科学--在《夏娃》一书中，凯特-博汉南（Cat Bohannon）以无限的好奇心和敏锐的智慧，讲述了过去两亿年的历史，解释了雌性发育背后的具体科学："我们需要一本雌性哺乳动物的用户手册。我们需要一本女性哺乳动物的用户手册。"这本书没有废话，直击要害，经过认真研究（但可读性强），阐述了我们是什么。女性的身体是如何进化的，它们是如何工作的，在生物学上作为女性的真正含义是什么。这本书将改写女性的故事。这本书就是这样的故事。我们须把女性的身体放在画面中。否则，受到损害的不仅仅是女权主义。现代医学、神经生物学、古人类学，甚至生物进化论，都会因为我们忽视了半数人都有胸部这一事实而受到冲击。所以，是时候谈谈胸部了。胸部、血液、脂肪、阴道、子宫--所有这些。它们是如何形成的，我们现在又是如何与它们共存的，无论事实有多么怪异或滑稽"。
《夏娃》不仅是对人类历史的一次修订，也是对这个长期以来主要关注男性身体的世界的一次紧迫而重要的纠正。《夏娃》从 "智人 "的角度出发，将彻底改变你对进化论的认识，以及智人为何会成为如此成功和占主导地位的物种。
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?
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. The 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 revision of human history, but also an urgent and important corrective to a world that has long focused primarily on the male body. Written from the perspective of "Homo sapiens," Eve will revolutionize your understanding of evolution and how Homo sapiens became such a successful and dominant species.
