Description

Women created life, then we erased their story. It's time for science to tell it.

'A page-turning whistle-stop tour ... Eve recasts the traditional story of evolutionary biology by placing women at its center . . . Engaging, playful, erudite, discursive and rich with detail' New York Times

'Such a rare book: scholarly, funny, accessible and very important. A truly original history of humans that explains so much of who we are today' Chris van Tulleken, bestselling author of Ultra-Processed People

'Revolutionising our understanding of the human body . . . a book that's packed full of surprising revelations' Guardian

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?

A sweeping revision of human history, Eve is an urgent and necessary corrective for a world that has focused primarily on the male body for far too long. It 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.

'An epic combination of science and speculation that places women at the centre of history' Observer

'Riveting, jaw-dropping, hilarious, exciting, enraging and deeply, deeply refreshing' Lucy Jones, author of Matrescence

'A smart, funny, scientific deep-dive . . . Educates and emboldens' Bonnie Garmus, bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry

So far, we have reused

books.

Sweden's friendliest and environmental friendliest bookshop with the lowest priced textbooks.

This is our ambition, and we do what it takes to get there. We are here to help students to save and earn money on their textbooks while we at the same time save the environment. We were started in 2005 by two students and have since strived to constantly make it easier to buy and sell used textbooks for as many as possible.
