Firstly, this is an inclusive book, so that was pleasant. I really enjoyed this, the look back at evolutionarily history and how females have driven a lot of the changes in our biology. I do agree with the most critical review on goodreads, that there seems to be a lot of natural selection assumptions that just don't play out. Talking about evolution choosing such and such a trait for future use feels creationist coded and I don't love that. Overall if you take some of the language with a grain of salt this is a really interesting book.

Amazing. There is also something extra special about reading this during the first few years of being a parent, and with a breastfeeding journey. Very fascinating over all and definitely great compliment to the Sapiens series. Will be a great re-read over time too

Very interesting read and it's narrated in an engaging way. I felt like I already knew that the female form is the spine of human evolution but it was nice to read the data behind.
