5.0
A very interesting and informative book that covers approximately 2,5 thousand years of scientific knowledge around evolution. If you are a science geek like me, you'll probably love it. If you are a woman like me, you'll get frustrated about the exclusion of women from science and knowledge for more than a thousand years. If you are a woman in STEM like me, you'll get i furiated by the constant underestimation of the participation of women in scientific breakthroughs, the denial to acknowledge their efforts and the blatant robbery of their work.
For the little it's worth, a big shoutout to the women mentioned and those unmentioned in this book for their contribution in natural sciences, biology, and genetics.
The ones mentioned here, two nobel prize winners amongst them and one that should have been are:
Ida Laura Pfeiffer
Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin
Martha Chase
Rosalind Franklin
Barbara McClintock
