Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution
Two hundred million years of evolution retold from the female body outward rather than the male.
Cat Bohannon works through milk, wombs, menopause, brains and the rest, arguing that traits usually treated as incidental to human evolution were in fact driving it. Genuinely new popular science on a subject that has been oddly underexamined, and written with more wit than the standard in the genre.

Cat Bohannon, Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution. It is getting harder and harder to find good popular science books, due to exhaustion of the major topics, but this is one of them. But most of this book is genuinely illuminating and on a wide range of biological topics, most of all how the female body is different. Recommended.
