Download Audiobook Bitch: On the Female of the Species by Lucy Cooke in English

DESCRIPTION

A fierce, humorous, and revolutionary look at the queens of the animal kingdom Finding out zoology made Lucy Cooke really feel like a tragic freak. Not as a result of she cherished spiders or would root round in animal feces: All her associates shared the identical curious kinks. The issue was her intercourse. Being feminine meant she was, by nature, a loser. Since Charles Darwin, evolutionary biologists have been satisfied that the males of the animal kingdom are the fascinating ones—dominating and promiscuous, whereas females are uninteresting, passive, and devoted.  In Bitch, Cooke tells a brand new story. Whether or not investigating same-sex feminine albatross {couples} that increase chicks, murderous mom meerkats, or the titanic battle of the sexes waged by geese, Cooke exhibits us a brand new evolutionary biology, one the place females will be as dynamic as any male. This isn‘t your grandfather’s evolutionary biology. It’s extra inclusive, more true to life, and, merely, extra enjoyable.
