The Woman That Never Evolved: With a New Preface and Bibliographical Updates, Revised Edition

The Woman That Never Evolved is a groundbreaking book that challenges prevailing myths about women's nature and their place in the evolutionary order.

Drawing on her expertise as a sociobiologist and feminist, Sarah Blaffer Hrdy reveals that female primates are competitive, independent, and sexually assertive, often risking their lives to protect their young and bonding together for mutual defense.

Despite their similarities with human females, males are almost universally dominant over females in primate species, including Homo sapiens.

To redress sexual inequality in human societies, we must first understand its evolutionary origins.

This book provides a fascinating account of the selective pressures that have shaped the behavior of males and females, offering insights into our urges, desires, and fears, as well as our sexuality and relationships with men and other women.

By examining the lives and loves of our closest nonhuman kin, we may uncover the secrets to a more equitable future.

Don't miss out on this thought-provoking and original work that will challenge your assumptions about gender and evolution.
