THE REAL ORIGIN OF OUR SPECIES: a myth-busting, eye-opening landmark account of how humans evolved, offering a paradigm shift in our thinking about what the female body is, how it came to be, and how this evolution still shapes all our lives today “A page-turning whistle-stop tour of mammalian development that begins in the Jurassic Era, Eve recasts the traditional story of ev...(展开全部)

How did wet nurses drive civilization? Are women always the weaker sex? Is sexism useful for evolution? And are our bodies at war with our babies? In Eve, Cat Bohannon answers questions scientists should have been addressing for decades. With boundless curiosity and sharp wit, she covers the past 200 million years to explain the specific science behind the development of the fe...(展开全部)

女性的身体是如何推动两亿年的人类进化的？?为什么女人比男人长寿？?为什么女性更容易患老年痴呆症？?为什么女孩在每门学科上的成绩都比男孩好，直到青春期，然后她们的成绩突然暴跌？?性别歧视对进化有用吗？?为什么，说真的，为什么女性到了更年期，每晚都要汗流浃背？ 这些问题正在产生一些真正令人兴奋的科学——在《夏娃》中，凯特·博汉农带着无限的好奇心和敏锐的智慧，用过去2亿年的时间来解释女性性别发展背后的具体科学：“我们需要一种女性哺乳动物的使用手册。一本严肃、有力、经过认真研究（但可读性强）的书，讲述了我们是谁。女性的身体是如何进化的，它们是如何工作的，从生物学角度来说，作为一个女人到底意味着什么。一些可以改写女性故事的东西。这本书就是那个故事。我们必须把女性的身体放在照片里。如果我们不这样做，受到损害的就不仅仅是女权主义了。现代医学，神经生物学，古人类学，...(展开全部)

这本开创性的《纽约时报》畅销书现在被改编成年轻人的读物！这是一个两亿年的故事，讲述了女性的身体如何演变成人类物种，并永远塑造了地球上的生命，以及这对我们未来的意义。 为什么女人比男人长寿？为什么女孩在每门学科上的成绩都比男孩好，直到青春期，然后她们的成绩突然暴跌？女性的大脑“连接方式不同”吗？这些问题和围绕科学主张的常见争论在这部适合年轻人的改编作品中得到了深思熟虑的审视。 这部全新的改编作品友好、有趣、引人入胜。它探讨了与青少年相关的话题，如心理健康及其背后的生物学，包括对青少年大脑如何经历各种变化和激素变化的见解。作者Cat Bohannon解释了性别歧视的根源，并展示了它是如何在很久以前甚至可能在某些进化目的中发挥作用的，但它今天不再为我们服务，是时候让它成为过去了。 充满了过去和现在的惊人故事，《夏娃》将使任何想要了解身体的年轻读者感到高兴—...(展开全部)

For nearly 100 million years amphibians and their ancestors dominated the terrestrial and shallow water environments of the earth. Archaic animals with an amphibious way of life gave rise not only to modern frogs, salamanders, and caecilians but also to the ancestors of reptiles, birds, and mammals. In this landmark publication, one of the leading paleontologists of our time ex...(展开全部)

The first detailed, illustrated, and comprehensive review of the fossil record of birds in a modern phylogenetic context. Distinguished palaeontologist Chattergee provides a clear and exciting chronology documenting the long odyssey of birds since Protoavis - which may have taken to the air some 75 million years before the widely known `first bird', Archaeopterix. It discusses ...(展开全部)

A small set of fossilized bones discovered almost thirty years ago led paleontologist Sankar Chatterjee on a lifelong quest to understand their place in our understanding of the history of life. They were clearly the bones of something unusual, a bird-like creature that lived long, long ago in the age of dinosaurs. He called it Protoavis, and the animal that owned these bones q...(展开全部)

Marine mammals have long captured the attention of humans. Ancient peoples etched seals and dolphins on the walls of Paleolithic caves; today, engineers develop microprocessors to track these denizens of the deep. This groundbreaking book from highly respected marine mammal paleontologist Annalisa Berta delves into the story of the extraordinary adaptations that gave the world ...(展开全部)

A landmark book of popular science—a lucid, engaging account of how the human body evolved over millions of years and of how the increasing disparity between the jumble of adaptations in our Stone Age bodies and the modern world is fueling the paradox of greater longevity but more chronic disease. In a book that illuminates, as never before, the evolutionary story of the human...(展开全部)
