I was thrilled to win this book thru LT and it took me a really long time to read it. It was good but at times long-winded and more like reading a history or a biology book. This is why it took so long to read and I had a really hard time getting into it. It covers the differences of the sexes from Adam and Eve all the way to present day society. I don't think I would have gone out and bought this book, still an interesting read. ( )ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
In this provocative reinterpretation of the human experience, noted historian Robert S. McElvaine bridges the gap between evolutionary biology and history to create a new approach which he terms "biohistory." Here for the first time he presents a startlingly fresh thesis: misperceptions about sexual difference and procreative power have, along with misleading sexual metaphors, been the major forces in history.In a bold departure from the methods of conventional history, Eve's Seed shows how the interplay between our evolutionary heritage and changing environments has shaped the course of history, from the days of hunter-gatherers to the contemporary world.
