Book
Eve : how the female body shaped human evolution / Cat Bohannon ; adapted by Rebecca Vitkus.
"Why do women live longer than men? Why do girls score better in every academic subject than boys until puberty, when suddenly their scores plummet? Is the female brain 'wired differently?' These questions and common debates around scientific claims are ... examined in this adaptation [meant] for young people. ... It explores teen-related topics such as mental health and the biology behind it, including insights on how adolescent brains are going through all kinds of changes, and shifting hormones. Author Cat Bohannon explains the roots of sexism and shows how, though it may have even served some evolutionary purpose long ago, it no longer serves us today, and it's high time we leave it in the past. Filled with ... stories of both past and present, Eve [is for] any young reader looking to understand the body: its amazing history, its wondrous capability, its oddities and mysteries, and its relevance to so many issues captivating contemporary thought and discussion"-- Provided by publisher.
