Apasionante y ameno como Sapiens, revelador e instructivo como La mujer invisible, Eva cuenta por fin la historia de la evolución humana desde la perspectiva de la mujer y el cuerpo femenino.¿Por que las mujeres menstruan? ¿Son siempre el sexo debil? ¿Es el sexismo util para la evolucion? ¿Y como hicieron avanzar la civilizacion las nodrizas? Durante demasiado tiempo, la ciencia se ha centrado casi exclusivamente en el cuerpo masculino. Solo en los ultimos quince años investigadores de diversas disciplinas han realizado nuevos e interesantes descubrimientos sobre como se ha desarrollado el cuerpo femenino durante los ultimos 200 millones de años, como funciona y que significa realmente ser biologicamente mujer.a Basandose en estos hallazgos, la investigadora y periodista Cat Bohannon intenta reescribir la historia de la feminidad. Fruto de una meticulosa investigacion y con estilo narrativo apasionante, rastrea el desarrollo del cuerpo femenino y pone nuestro conocimiento de la evolucion y de por que el Homo sapiens se convirtio en una especie tan exitosa y dominante bajo una luz completamente nueva.
