Eve's Seed Biology, the Sexes and the Course of History

"Eve's Seed is a bestseller waiting to be discovered: a package of sex, science and species' vanity nicely wrapped in sparkling prose."--Joyce Appleby, UCLA, Los Angeles Times Book Review "Eve's Seed is a truly remarkable book, probably the most thought-provoking book I've read in years. . . . a marvelous book."--Rabbi Harold S. Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People In a bold reinterpretation of history, Robert S. McElvaine contends that scholars have told only half the human story--ignoring our evolutionary heritage, or "prehistory." With Eve's Seed, McElvaine offers unsettling insights into many of our most time-honored notions of ourselves and the "natural order," This book will compel everyone who reads it to view the world in a radically new light. "I find the book Eve's Seed intriguing. It signals a significant paradigm shift."--Betty Friedan, author of The Feminine Mystique "This impressive book . . . will provide [an] invaluable source of inspiration . . . regarding the huge issue of male/female roles and their impact on us. It's about time someone put men in their proper place: on the bottom."--George Carlin, Standup Comedian and author of Napalm and Silly Putty "Written with passion, wit and insight, this accessible book throws down the gauntlet to academics and nonspecialists alike, daring a radical rethinking of the basic "truths" on which cultures have been constructed."--Publishers Weekly, starred review "This is a radical revision of traditional visions of human history . . . a real eye-opener! I must now rethink my understanding of the Neolithic 'revolution' with McElvaine's help."--William H.
