Woman. An evolutionary perspective on how and why the female form appeared
For centuries, the female body has captivated not only the minds of artists and writers who sought to convey its allure but also scientists who have consistently asked the same questions: Why is the female body so different from the...
male? What has led to the formation of these differences? And how, being so fragile, does it endure loads and pain not only on par but even better than men? Evolutionary geneticist and educator Dina Emmer has spent much of her life studying the evolution of the female body and the female reproductive system. She has researched the biological, sociocultural, and ecological factors that have influenced the formation of female bodies among animals and humans over the millennia. This book, based on her extensive professional knowledge and teaching experience, will answer all these (and many more!) questions in a simple and understandable language, allowing a glimpse far into our evolutionary past.
