Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution is a 2023 non-fiction book written by American author Cat Bohannon. The work examines how women's physiology influenced human development and societal norms. Cat Bohannon holds a Ph.D. in English and Comparative Literature.
The book investigates how female biology shaped historical and cultural patterns. It argues that biological and medical research has long neglected women's bodies. This neglect occurs because male subjects present fewer "complicating" variables such as the estrous cycle. Clinical drug trials have historically focused on male participants. The text claims this approach has affected medical understanding and treatment outcomes. Cat Bohannon illustrates the book's central themes.
