What if half of evolution’s story has been missing all along?
In this thought-provoking and wildly entertaining episode of Talking Apes, Gerry Ellis sits down with author and researcher Cat Bohannon, whose bestselling book Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution reframes our understanding of deep time through the female body.
Cat brings sharp insight, humor, and a storyteller’s eye to the big questions:
• Why has female biology been overlooked in evolutionary science?
• How did primatologists — especially women — transform the field?
• What happens when we return the female body to the center of the narrative?
• And how does this reshape everything we think we know about being human?
From gynecology as the original adaptive technology, to orangutan communication, to the surprising origins of tool innovation, this episode unpacks the hidden stories behind our bodies, our ancestors, and our modern lives.
Watch now and join us in rethinking 200 million years of evolution through a new lens.
