Women After All: Sex, Evolution, and the End of Male Supremacy by Melvin Konner

Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Women After All by Melvin Konner A short, lively argument for the natural superiority of women. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In Women After All, anthropologist Melvin Konner traces the arc of evolution to explain the relationships between women and men. Drawing on colourful examples from the natural world-the octopus, the black widow spider and coral reef fish, which can switch from male to female in a single reproductive career-he sheds light on our biologically different human identities and the poignant exceptions that challenge the male/female divide. We meet hunter-gatherers in Botswana whose culture gave women a prominent place, inventing the working mother and respecting womens voices around the fire. History upset this balance as a dense world of war fostered extreme male dominance. But our species has been recovering over the past two centuries and an unstoppable move towards equality is afoot. It will not be the end of men but it will be the end of male supremacy and a better, wiser world for women and men alike. Notes A short, lively argument for the natural superiority of women from the anthropologist and acclaimed author of The Tangled Wing. Author Biography Melvin Konner, MD, is Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor in the Department of Anthropology and the Program in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology at Emory University. He is the author of Believers, Women After All, Becoming a Doctor, and The Tangled Wing, among other books. Review "This is strong stuff...Konner really does know his evolutionary onions..." -- The Mail on Sunday "...it [Women After All] is witty, well paced, packed with useful information and suggests an intriguing new perspective on an old phenomenon..." -- Times Literary Supplement "Konner mines evolution and anthropology to probe gender identities in the light of biology, sexual conflict across species and more. The provocative scenarios he lays out include a man-free world where women reproduce using DNA from other womens eggs." -- Nature "Melvin Konners book has an urgent message for women - and men..." -- Times Higher Education "...he [Konner] does support his arguments with a whole kaleidoscope of fascinating research and information." -- Human Givens Review Quote "Women After All is astonishingly insightful.... It is not always males who are the problem. At issue is the utterly ruthless processes of sexual selection which in humans are magnified still further by patriarchal ideologies. Women After All provides a richly informed, up-to-the-minute and sensible exploration of a highly charged topic. It is the best available examination of how and why men and women differ and how twenty-first-century humans can use this knowledge to forge a better world."
