In this episode, I'm joined by Cat Bohannan, author of Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution. Cat challenges the traditional “man the hunter” narrative, presenting a compelling case for “women the survivor” as the driving force behind humanity’s success. From the role of childbirth in shaping the human brain to the essential contributions of grandmothers and the evolutionary purpose of the female orgasm, Cat redefines our understanding of human history.


She also dives into intriguing questions you may have never considered: Why do women live longer than men? Why isn’t women’s belly fat actually fat? And why do girls outperform boys in school until puberty? This conversation highlights the unsung contributions of women throughout evolutionary history, offering fresh perspectives on the incredible role of the female body.
